It does on F14 for a MFC-7820N using the CUPS driver. Where you go from there depends on how you want to handle the printer IP address. I have mine assigned a fixed address by the DHCP server, though you can probably give it a static IP address in the printer setup. There is a way to use the setup you have, but it involves opening up ports in the firewall, and running the zero-config daemon. (I forget the name of it.)
