IPv6 printing has arrived!

At work, I successfully installed an HL-4040CN from Brother and it does support static IPv6 addresses and I believe the config has fields for using IPv6 DNS servers (still using IPv4 DNS). I can also report that IPP/Internet printing works from Linux & XP clients. Its supposed to be able to stateless-autoconfigure the address: not sure how to get it to do that.
The 4040CN set us back $400US, but I'm going to suggest to my boss we get a HL-2170W for site use: price is comparable to other B/W's we've gotten, and it won't require a computer setup to use.

P.S. The IPv6 tool from the website wasn't necessary for me: I was able to configure it from the web interface.
IPv6 printing has arrived!
Actually, HP is the one who had the 'first' here, and has had full IPv6 compliance already for a few years, they even had the below upgrade offer:

I guess I should say consumer-level IPv6. I've been aware of HP's support, but its expensive: a quick Google on their JetDirect cards yields prices at $350-$450. The printers worth buying for an office setting is a good several hundred bucks without the cards. |:(
