No, the last part at least is not true. My printer IPv6 part only responds on it. HP designed it to be used, till Firefox removed the support.
Does HP have a Windows based utility for accessing the printer? That might be part of the problem.
It certainly has, but I've never used it. It is easy enough to configure it over Ipv4. The procedure with most IPv4 gadgets is: Device responds on 192.168.1.1 only. This collides with the router address, so it can not be connected to the home network. Configure a laptop to be 192.168.1.2 or similar. Disconnect laptop from LAN. Connect laptop to new device. Configure new device to new address. Reboot it. Change laptop back to LAN address. Connect new device to LAN. Test connectivity. Whereas on IPv6 it would be: Connect device to LAN. Point firefox 6 to link-local address of new device. Configure device as appropriate for lan. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
