              I'm going to ask the obvious question:  Is your
              Linux computer in the

              same subnet as the printer?  (i.e. 172.16..)

              
            Yes
             
            Is
              that the IP of the printer?

              
            For
              what it's worth, even if it is, browsing to that IP may
              not do you

              any good.  They may simply have the printer listening,
              without providing

              any interface.  That's what my HP LaserJet 4M does (it's
              there on the

              network, listening and printing, but doesn't provide any
              kind of

              interface to the outside world).

            
            Exactly. It does not let me browse. 
            

              Is that the IP of the router?

            
            The printer's IP is the same as the wireless router
              (i.e. 172.16.100.1 and the Linux system is 172.16.100.x) 
            

              In that case, I'd expect that the router is acting as an
              internet

              printing server, and ought to have some kind of
              interface.  But you may

              have more luck going to the root of the server (instead of
              directly to

              the printer address), <http://172.16.100.1:631/>, to see
              if that gives

              you an interface.

              
            Tried that also, and it did not show anything on the
              browser. The process list on the DLink Router shows a
              program named ippd running which provides the interface to
              the printer. 
            

    Can you access the router's print server port via telnet?

    
    telnet 172.16.100.1 631

    
    If not try disabling the Fedora's firewall.

    
    Also, last week i had a problem with a customer, and it was he
    configured a wrong net mask in the Linux box.

    
    I suppose that ping and traceroute to the printserver's IP give the
    expected results, did you tried it?
