I have a really nice HP printer that's currently connected via USB cable

devices are able to find it and print to it using the magic of Bonjour.
  Is there a way for Fedora to use it via Avahi, rather than ipp and
giving the printer a fixed IP address?


http://localhost:631/

CUPS does find network-printers via avahi

Ensure that your Fedora client system's firewall has port 5353/udp
(mDNS) and 631/udp (IPP client) open, and things should generally Just
Work(tm).


It seems to be more than 5353 and 631.  With the iptables service
running, I don't see the printer in CUPS. If I stop the iptables
service, I do.  What's missing here?


it is only 5353 used BUT UDP, 100% sure and no there is no need
to open jetdirect INCOMING or other voodo

avahi works on UDP and your UDP rule looks strange
what is the "224.0.0.251" for?

Isn't that multicast? Can't conveniently look it up at the moment, but that rings a bell.

you need open ports FROM YOU LOCAL NETWORK like 10.0.0.0/24
your other rules looking partly dangerous and way too wide open

ACCEPT     tcp  --  anywhere             anywhere             state NEW
tcp dpt:mdns

ACCEPT     udp  --  anywhere             224.0.0.251          state NEW
udp dpt:mdns
