You could use /etc/hosts to define a dummy host name that Firefox could

I have added this line to /etc/hosts and it did not work:
fe80::e828:7eff:fe19:9962%ippusbxd ippusbxd-printers
I have also tried
fe80::e828:7eff:fe19:9962%25ippusbxd ippusbxd-printers
and also put "[...]" around the IP address. When I try to resolve the
name ippusbxd-printers (for example with "wget") I get something like
Dec 29 20:18:38 till-x1carbon systemd-resolved[1462]: Address
'fe80::e828:7eff:fe19:9962%ippusbxd' is invalid, in line /etc/hosts:10.
in /var/log/syslog.
If I add the line
fe80::e828:7eff:fe19:9962 ippusbxd-printers
wget can resolve the IP address from the name, but it cannot access as
the interface is not specified:
till@till-x1carbon:~$ wget ippusbxd-printers:60000
--2016-12-29 20:24:11-- http://ippusbxd-printers:60000/

till@till-x1carbon:~$
Specifying the interface is not accepted by wget, wget considers the
interface as a part of the name:
till@till-x1carbon:~$ wget ippusbxd-printers%ippusbxd:60000
--2016-12-29 20:45:52-- http://ippusbxd-printers%25ippusbxd:60000/

till@till-x1carbon:~$ wget ippusbxd-printers%25ippusbxd:60000

In Firefox it is even worse. The name, either with and without
specification of the interface is not resolved at all and Firefox tries
to add "www." and ".com".

If only we had universal support for interface scopes by having a
unified function that parses IP addresses...

Thank you very much.
curl 'http://[fe80::e828:7eff:fe19:9962%25ippusbxd]:60000/' > testfile.gz
gunzip testfile.gz
gives an actual HTML file.
I am not able to open this URL with Firefox, as this browser does not seem to
understand the syntax of the IPv6 URL.
Is there a way to make a local Zeroconf host name get assigned to this IPv6 IP
address?
