In F-18 firewalld is the default firewall solution using a zone model. 
The default zone for the system is the 'public' zone, which only allows 
to access ssh and dhcpv6 as a client.

If your machine is always at home you can safely change the default zone 
to 'home', where ipp-client (printing client) is enabled by default. You 
can do this with the command

   firewall-cmd --set-default-zone=home

or using the grahical configuration tool

   firewall-config

If your machine is a notebook, that you are using also in other 
environments, for example an internet cafe and you are using wirelesss 
at home also, then simply put your home wireless connection in the home 
zone using the network manager configuration tool or with the 
firewall-applet (left click on the connection you want to change and go 
to general tab in nm-connection-editor).

If your machine is using wired lan at home and wireless every where 
else, you can place the wired connection in the home zone and leave the 
default to public.

You can also create and modify zones according to your needs with the 
firewall-config tool.
