Description of problem: After installing F18 on my laptop and upgrading the desktop, HP printer like Photosmart eStn is no longer recognized through network signalling a regression. F17 was not affected by the issue Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.12.11 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install or upgrade 2. 3. Actual results: Unable to use network printing and scanning Expected results: Network printing and scanning should work out of box Additional info:
Network printers are not automatically made visible without *some* amount of configuration. How did it work for you with this printer in Fedora 17? Did you need to adjust the firewall, and/or run system-config-printer to add a network printer, or did you run hp-setup, or some other method? In other words, what are you trying to do, and what is the result, compared to what you are expecting/how it used to work? (FWIW, I can print to and scan from an HP network multi-function Photosmart series printer using Fedora 18 here.)
Created attachment 662577 [details] Gnome Shell network printer setting I simply use printer setting from Gnome Shell which suggested me to enable firewalld and missing functionality in F17 then recognized the ip of my printer (Photosmart eStation C150). After upgrading my desktop to F18, the same network configuration should remain functionality yet failed. I also encounter the same issue using my laptop running a freshly installed F18 by simply adding the ip address of my printer with no success. If the port is firewalled on network printing setting, there is no displayed information about it. I attached a testcase so you can see the problem. In this example, HPFFCCB9 is the printer.
Thanks for the screenshot. Changing component.
I am closing this report as "work for me". The issue is resolved by resetting the main modem on my network which now sees the wireless printer.
