here's the result of lpinfo -l -v on linux mint 12. I see it actually

way I usually configure it when doing a manual config:
In fact it has identified IPP, using DNS-SD as the discovery mechanism.
Here's the JetDirect interface, discovered using DNS-SD:
Device: uri = dnssd://Brother%20HL-2070N%20series._pdl-datastream._tcp.local/
class = network
info = Brother HL-2070N series
make-and-model = Brother HL-2070N series

Here's the LPD interface, discovered using DNS-SD:
Device: uri = dnssd://Brother%20HL-2070N%20series._printer._tcp.local/
class = network
info = Brother HL-2070N series
make-and-model = Brother HL-2070N series

This is the LPD interface, discovered from an SNMP response I would
guess (judging from the fact that it comes with a Device ID and
make-and-model info -- and that the hostname looks weird):
Device: uri = lpd://BRN_8A1FC9/BINARY_P1
class = network
info = Brother HL-2070N series
make-and-model = Brother HP LaserJet 4050 Series
device-id = MANUFACTURER:Brother;COMMAND SET:PJL,MLC,PCL,PCLXL;MODEL:HP LaserJet 4050 Series;CLASS:PRINTER;COMMENT:The model name HP LaserJet 4050 Series is used only for compatibility information for HP printer

If this discovery is not working for you in Fedora, it is likely that
the default firewall is the reason. In order to receive DNS-SD
responses you must explicitly enable them using system-config-firewall.
Also: make sure you have the avahi service installed and running.
For SNMP broadcast query responses there is unfortunately no way to
configure the firewall in order to allow these, short of disabling it.
