[STR New]
We'd like to print out from Redhat to the printer(has IPv6 link local
address) on IPv6 network.
Our environment:
*network:
shared with both IPv4 and IPv6
*How to get address:
DHCP
*Which distribution
Redhat Linux Enterprise WS4(have been changed to IPv6)
*CUPS version into Redhat
1.2.7
*browser to check CUPS status
Konqueror
We had confirmed followings for check that our network is OK.
- Linux PC had both IPv4 address and IPv6 address(Link Local address)
by "ipconfig" command into Terminal.
- This PC doesn't has a global address of IPv6.
- We tried to "ping6" command to itself. we could get reply.
- We tried to the printer(has IPv6 address), we could get reply.
- We tried this line
# lsmod | grep ipv6
we had reply "ipv6 177748 -1". So, maybe IPv6 module is running on
PC.
---- our try and issue ----
- When we add printer on http://localhost:631 and print out,
We can't print out and display "Unable to connect to
printer; will retry in 30 seconds..." on localhost web page.
- We had been debug backend's code.
It seems that this line into lpd.c occur error.
"connect(fd, &(addr->addr.addr), httpAddrLength(&(addr->addr)))"
- We had tried to add printer with this line.
# lpd://[fe80::xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx]/q
---- Question ----
1. How should we add printer with LPD and IPv6 address ?
We had tried this line
# lpd://[fe80::xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx]/q
2. We got CUPSver1.2.7 source code from cups.org site. and compiled,
install. (./configure ->> make ->> make install)
Can we print out with IPv6 without special setting of build before
compile ?
3. If our build process is correct, How to be available IPv6 into CUPS ?
4. Should we change cupsd.conf file for printing out to IPv6 printer ?
