Description of problem: I attempted to find a printer with 'System Settings'->'Printers' by address, but no printers appeared and adding the printer's address in the address field did not help. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fully updated Fedora 17. I do not know what package provides this functionality, but I'd be happy to query for the version if someone can tell me the package name. How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start firewalld (not sure if that's required, but I had it running) 2. Try to add a printer by address. Actual results: No printer found Expected results: Printer added Additional info: system-config-printer succeeded in adding the printer without any problems. I chose system-config-printer as the component as I figured that would get the BZ assigned to the right group, but that's actually the component that solved my problem. The printer is on another network from my workstation. I see no debug information that might be helpful, if there is anything I can provide, please let me know.

Start firewalld (not sure if that's required, but I had it running) No, it's not required. Make sure firewall is off (service firewalld stop; service iptables stop), try to use the GNOME control-center again and let us know.

Hi Dave, by which service is the printer provided? Is it IPP, MDNS or just a network printer (SNMP)? Which port does it use? Regards Marek
Er, I'm not sure? OMG, the control-center is too user friendly! ;) nmap reports: 80/tcp open http 515/tcp open printer 631/tcp open ipp 5432/tcp filtered postgresql 7000/tcp filtered afs3-fileserver 7007/tcp filtered afs3-bos 9100/tcp open jetdirect How do I tell which connection method control-center picked?
It should be enough to run "lpstat -s" and past here result of the line which contains the printer you've added. Also, could you past here address you've filled in the address field? If you don't want to make this information public, you can send it to my email. Regards Marek
Thanks, it's using IPP.
Using Fedora 18 Beta, it isn't still possible to add new network printer from gnome control center. Search field remaining blank. No problem with system-config-printer. control-center.x86_64 3.6.3-1.fc18
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
My experience with adding printers in F19 has been extremely positive; I've added several printers and the process has been flawless. Thanks for some really nice work in this area.
