Same IP on a network can give unpredictable errors, there's no way to say what might happen. all depends on wich machine answers or responds first, how dump or smart the machine that has the IP adres is, how oftern both are used or are "On" or even on the network. etc. Worst case one of em is a mobile device and the other a dump, passive machine...

The server will do nothing in detecting it. If it's a DHCP server it will only take care of the IP's in it's pool, not the ones outside. And still, you can have a static IP on yoour printer and have the DHCP server giving it to a PC, phone or laptop if it's not excluded.
