The address can not be changed. IPv6 can not be configured at all in that printer.
Addresses are normally assigned with SLAAC or DHCPv6. If it has a link local address, either of those should work.
That's the only address it has, or at least the only one it says it has. Automatic IPv6 address giving doesn't work, at least till Telefónica gives us IPv6 external addresses somehow. On that bugzilla Andrei linked, someone said about another use case: a router that was misconfigured and would not respond on the supposed address, thus trying the hardware fixed address instead, the LL.
This works, it is my desktop computer: <http://[fc00::14]/>
The issue is that the exact address <http:///[FE80::21E:BFF:FE08:4CCB%eth0]> did work back in 2011. Firefox has changed. It does not matter if I remove the extra slash or the "eth0" part. In fact, when I remove the "%eth0" the link is erased and replaced with "about:blank".
Back on 2011 we tried several concoctions here in this mail list and we found that the address had to be surrounded by square brackets because the colons are used already to separate the port number, and eth0 had to be added because those addresses are not routed so the system doesn't know what network interface to use.
The link that Andrei suggested doesn't give any more light, except that it doesn't work.
I also was able to do it years ago, but no longer can. This is something that changed. I believe similar happens with other browsers.
Links, lynx and w3m fail. Seamonkey goes to google. First hit is a post of mine asking about this back on 2011, LOL. "Web" says: unable to display this website".
