Comment 42 for bug 475845

@ThomasNovin

I also lose all the printers when I try the workaround given in comment #29.

I do not have any experience with IPv6, but I checked the output from sysctl -A and looked into /etc/hosts. It seems as if IPv6 is not disabled in my system, as there are these 3 lines:

net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 0
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 0
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 0

and /etc/hosts contains references to IPv6:

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

However, I am not sure if that means that IPv6 is enabled.

If IPv6 is enabled, then there is indeed something else preventing workaround #29 to work properly.

Thanks,
Victor
