The daemon 'dhcpd' is package 'isc-dhcp-server'.

Can't you change the IP of your ISP router to use the subnet 192.168.1.*?

One way to change the IP of your printer would be to directly connect a 
computer to your printer and set a fix address on the computer in the 
same subnet as the printer.
Then you can change the IP of your printer.

Using the 'dhcpd' and 'named' ('isc-dhcp-server, isc-bind) is one option 
but 'dnsmasq' is a simpler way to do the same.
