.lan meets your requirements and I have seen that used.
I had .home., but when I noticed that the pre-registration of .home.
has started, I changed this to .local.;
at work we have company.local.
Or you could make up something random.
Since it's just your private network,
.local as something random :D
if the one you choose gets used later,
you will have to change it again, but
you'll have lots of warning.

I don't understand what you're saying here.
the system/Firefox has to take e.g. proxy.my.lan as proxy server ...
also the printer must work with e.g. lpd://printer.my.lan/CP1515N ...
and not just with the IP address ...
