Try this instead:

http:///[FE80::21E:BFF:FE08:4CCB%eth0]

That format works for me.

Indeed! That one works. Three or two bars, both work.

But it is a terrible format!

(thunderbird doesn't highlight it. It is not clickable)

Having to add a 6 to the ping, specify the interface in pings or web
browsing... Perhaps it is a question of routing tables :-?



What would happen if I modify my bind dns configuration in an unfathomable
way, so that the returned address for the printer is the v6 one instead of
the v4 one, would I have to write the port too? That's absurd. It is, isn't it?

So if I bookmark the address, it would go with eth0 too...

How weird.


And where from did the printer get that address? I did not configure it, it
was HP, the manufacturer. Perhaps I should configure instead the equivalent
v6 address to the v4 addr.

Ha! I'm lucky to have a v4 ISP, or you could be printing to /my/ printer
from your home! >:-)


Is there an IPv6 manual for dummies?
