@hplip devs: Setting up a printer should work without opening a port on the machine. avahi-browse provides enough information for generating the DeviceURI for cups.

For example "avahi-browse -a -t -r" finds:

+ wlp58s0 IPv6 HP OfficeJet Pro 8710 [871FCB] Internet Printer local
...
= wlp58s0 IPv4 HP OfficeJet Pro 8710 [871FCB] UNIX Printer local
   hostname = [HPC8D3FF871FCB.local]
   address = [10.0.0.8]
   port = [515]
   txt = ["Scan=T" "Duplex=T" "Color=T" "UUID=[REMOVED FROM OUTPUT]" "note=" "adminurl=http://HPC8D3FF871FCB.local." "mac=[REMOVED FROM OUTPUT]" "priority=52" "usb_MDL=OfficeJet Pro 8710" "usb_MFG=HP" "product=(HP OfficeJet Pro 8710)" "ty=HP OfficeJet Pro 8710" "kind=document,envelope,photo,postcard" "PaperMax=legal-A4" "pdl=application/vnd.hp-PCL,image/jpeg,application/PCLm,image/urf,image/pwg-raster" "rp=RAW" "qtotal=1" "txtvers=1"]

which contains all of the info needed for hp-makeuri:

user@debian:~$ hp-makeuri HPC8D3FF871FCB.local
