When I turn off the firewall...I print just fine. I have added the line in the iptables and allowed the inbound port as this website states...http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&threadid=311960
Is there anything else I can try...It is not a big deal i just cut the firewall off when printing for now.

Thanks
Remember linux newbie working into novice

So this is a network printer and not attached to your machine? If so allowing incoming connections to your machine wont help, you want to enable outgoing traffic to the printer.
