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.
Run radvd on your network, using some fc00 prefix. That'll allow such devices to auto-configure and you won't need the old firefox.
Still what some of the comments on the firefox bugzilla describe is reaching to an IPv6 only device which is configured for an unknown address prefix/range. The link-local address allows to still connect to it, for examination and/or reconfiguration.
I'm not sure I quite get it - how can the prefix be unknown, especially if you have configured it yourself?
Huh?
Ah. Because we did not configure that particular gadget, for instance.
Sure, but when you have configured a local prefix, "fc00:what:ever:itis" and allowed the device to auto-configure.
I'm not so interested in the firefox issues, I have a strong suspicion they are all due to an improperly configured IPv6 environment.
I think you simply do not understand the issue.
I'll admit, that is very possible. :-)
Please read the bugzilla instead, I did not write it, perhaps you understand them better than me.
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700999>
It has 45 entries.
I have been running ipv6 since 2006. First steps with a tunnel provider, some years later with a local ADSL provider, since 2012 with PI address space routed by my uplink provider. If all of that report is to do with people using LL addresses, I'm just not interested. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (18.2°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
