‘Urro…

Ay, the %eth* is a trap…  First time I saw that it took ages to find the 
solution on the interwebs. :-)

What distro are you using?  A while ago RedHat EL6 had an issue where the 
default package for cups didn’t have IPv6 enabled at compile / config time..  
Might be that your cups doesn’t support IPv6 at all?

Can you telnet to the localhost CUPS admin port?  (631 I think?  bit vague on 
that, and feeling google-lazy. :-) )

Cheers, Chris H.
