Configure larger DHCP scope to separate PCs and other devices

Currently I have a scope of 192.168.0.x / 24 which is getting close to full.

Is it possible to increase the scope size to 192.168.x.x / 23 and configure it so that all PCs/laptops/tablets etc. get an IP from the 192.168.0.x range, and all other equipment (specifically printers and comms equipment) gets an IP from the 192.168.1.x range?

I get that I can do it using reservations, but is there a way of enforcing it for items that don't have a reservation?

This is currently on a Windows 2003 Server, but will soon be on a Windows 2012 Server.

It's as I figured. I already have VLANs in place for something else and was trying to see if there would be an 'easier' solution.

I was already familiar with re-subnetting, but that wasn't what I was asking about, so sorry to rrjmin0 for not awarding any points to you.
