Not just on Debian. Since the earliest days of IP internetworking, an IP address with a hostid of 0 means "this" host and a network address with a network ID of zeros means "this" network.

Ahah! I suspected that wasn't real.

It's not magic, it's DHCP! Whatever DHCP server you use may be able to tell you what IP your printer got, without having to ask the printer, as long as you know your printer's MAC address (which won't change unless the printer's network card is replaced).
