Hello
Im new to Fedora. Even, I'm new to Linux environment. I had installed Fedora using kernel version 2.6.23.1-42.fc8-i686. I also have a printer which resides on the network. I want to use this printer as my default printer. So, I tried to surf around the system and i found a menu that provides info of all printer available to the system. It is located at System->Administration->Pr
Secondly, since Fedora have the information of my network printer, i tried to use it. I opened an open office file and write something in it. Then i test print. But the printing did not work. Then i check the print status. It is pending. Then i check my printing method under File->Print in open-office. I can see that my network printer is offline. Why is this happening? I tried to ping the printer IP and the results was good. No problem with the network. Ping succeed. For your information, the Printer Configuration Window displayed that my Device URL would be at location ipp://10.1.27.103:631/prin

You printer must be able to use IPP before you can assign it in your linux system with a remote queoe to ipp://10.1.27.103:631/prin
I am not a user of Fedora but you can take a look at cups. Cups and cupsys is pretty much (imho) the easiest to work with.
There seem to be several related pages some of which appear to be bug related with your HP 4250.

'cause the printer anounces itself with broadcasts
> How can i solve this problem?
hmm, might have a couple of reasons, but I guess that you need to configure your printuing system first. I assume that it is cups, so please enable it
chkcfg cups on
(sorry, don't know how to do it with a GUI)
