installing a hp wifi enabled printer

this is just a quick note about installing a wifi enabled hp printer on fedora (20)initial set up must first be initiated by direct USB cable via

hp-setup

hp-setup is installed as part of the hplip* packages. it needs the hplip-gui package specifically.

once the printer is configured for wireless networking (aka IP), you can use system-config-printer to add the wireless printer. but before you do that you must open up your firewall with

sudo iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 5353 -j ACCEPT

and thats when you will see the printer in the config dialog. it will show up as a 2nd printer.

i also recommend you add an indicator to its name to identify this connection is over wifi eg. HP-Officejet-j4680-wifi (or wireless!)
