Thanks to all who replied to the above question. But the avahi-tools did
not solve my problem. I found another solution: Because the MAC address
of the printer is known (and does not change), the *arping* program gave
me the solution: arping -I eth0 <the printer's MACaddress>

There was only one problem: The Fedora version of arping did not allow
MAC addresses as destination, but I found a version in freshmeat.net
working for me (arping-2.09) :

sudo /usr/local/sbin/arping -i eth0 00:04:00:f9:b0:f9

ARPING 00:04:00:f9:b0:f9
