OK I can telnet into the printer over IPV6 and the characters I type into the telnet window are printed in plain text by the printer when I close the session.
Just as a bye the bye when you are using telnet with a ipv6 link local address you need to specify the interface; telnet fe80::200:74ff:xxx:xxxx%eth0 9100 I will try to print from other hosts and let you know progress tomorrow Cheers Ross Drummond On Sun, 01 Mar 2015 16:07:12 +1300 Chris Hellyar <[email protected]> wrote: > 'Urro.. > > Did both workstation and printer pick up link-local addresses? > (fe80:*) > > Is the workstation running any ip6tables rules? > > As a very broad statement, for local network stuff ipv6 has 'just > worked' for me so far, so it's down to the basics..
