IPv6 Environment Printing Problems
Other IPv6 Problems
The printer cannot be accessed when 
specifying a link-local address. 
Add a scope ID to the link-local address. 
For example, when using Internet Explorer 7 with Windows 
Vista to specify fe80::203:baff:fe48:9010 for access, add the 
Windows Vista Ethernet adapter local area connection 
number (8, for example) as the scope ID, and enter: 
fe80::203:baff:fe48:9010%8.
Symptom Cause/Remedy
A Windows shared printer cannot be 
used from Windows Vista in an IPv6

Register the computer name of this printer in the Windows 
Vista hosts file. 
Example Path:

In the IPv6 environment, enable the DNS server and specify
