Network Printing using IPv6
I have established IPv6 connectivity between printer and PC (XP Pro) on
simple network using PING and LPQ from Command Prompt. But how do I get Port Monitor to access printer via IPv6 address? I can enter IPv6 address into Port Monitor via Printer/Properties/Ports/configure port/Printer name or IP address sequence, but I cannot enter scope. With just IPv6 address, the port monitor does not output anything to ethernet. How does one set up PC to send print to IPv6 address? Thaks for any suggestons.

Network Printing using IPv6
Does the device have a hostname? try that instead.

Network Printing using IPv6
Alan,
Thank you, but no, this is a network in the early states of transition. There is no IPv6 compatible DNS Server or any DHCPv6 Server. Are you suggesting that a literal IPV6 address cannot be used in the Port setup?? Thanks.

Network Printing using IPv6
Alan,
Thank you, but no, this is a network in the early starges of transition and there is no IPV6 compatible DNS nor DHCPv6 server. Present activity is to qualify a printer for future use over IPv6. Are you suggesting that a literal IPV6 address cannot be used in the port setup? Thanks.

Network Printing using IPv6
That support was not added until Vista. It's coming, hang in there.
