Just for reference, I own an HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 all-in-one as well and both printing and scanning work fine on Fedora 13 with the following packages from the official fedora repositories: rpm -q hplip-gui.x86_64 hplip xsane.x86_64 xsane-gimp.x86_64 libsane-hpaio hplip-gui-3.10.5-1.fc13.x86_64 hplip-3.10.5-1.fc13.x86_64 xsane-0.997-10.fc13.x86_64 xsane-gimp-0.997-10.fc13.x86_64 libsane-hpaio-3.10.5-1.fc13.x86_64 Only needed to open :incoming UDP: 137, 138, 161, 427 and outgoing TCP: 137, 139, 427, 9100, 9220, 9500 on the firewall and then hp-setup correctly configured the printer and xsane was able to detect the scanner automatically. I did have to specify the printer's IP address for hp-setup to find it.
