printing to Bonjour printers under Fedora 9?

[Jack Howarth]

   Is there decent support in Fedora 9 for printing to
Bonjour printers? I understand that avahi is supposed
to provide that functionality. However the HJ Deskjet
I have attached to an Apple Airport Extreme basestation
via usb and exposed as a Bonjour printer doesn't show
up in the Printer setup utility in Fedora 9. Is there
a particular set of steps to enable such Bonjour printers
to be seen in Fedora 9's printer setup utility?

Well, I don't even do that.  When I'm at home (canon ip6000 attached to a mac) or at
friends home, I just go to print a document and the printers show up as being available.
I don't have to do anything.

The default firewall is extremely restrictive, so you will need to
enable 'Multicast DNS (mDNS)' on the client using the firewall
configuration tool.

    I was able to connect to the Bonjour printer after enabling the mDNS
access on the firewall and installing the missing avahi-tools package. Hopefully
this package can be installed by default in Fedora 10 and later to limit the
effort required to getting Bonjour access working.
