If you want to share your printer, enable the 'ipp' service in the zone
you are using for the connection of the default zone if you use the
default for all connections.
To make configuration changes in zones permanent, switch from the
runtime configuration view to the persistent configuration view. Changes
in the runtime view are only valid till system of firewalld restart. If
you want to enable sharing only for this boot, then change in runtime
view, it will be disabled at next boot again.
