I just checked the printer again (the address on my initial post). It is an HP CP1515n. The IPv6 config has only on/off, I can not choose the address at all. It is the link local address or nothing. I have checked both the LCD menu on the printer, and its web page. IPv4 is configurable, IPv6 is not.
So, IPv6 support is very limited even with hardware that says it has IPv6 support.
Perhaps it's expecting an address via RADVD or DHCP6
I'm not sure why you'd need that. I use regular DNS and it works fine. I use a DNS with an IPv6 address, but any DNS should be able to provide both IPv4 A records and IPv6 AAAA records.
No, I don't what that is for, either. Maybe autconf related.
It's for providing IP addresses for host names to other systems, without using a dedictated DNS. A computer will do a multicast other computers on a network, asking who has the IP address for a host name, in a manner similar to how an arp request obtains the MAC address for a given IP address. I have never used MDNS, as I've used either a DNS server or hosts file. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
