Printing

There are as many protocols for printing as there are programs for sending mail, and IPv6 support varies from platform to platform and from protocol to protocol.

Windows 2003 supports printing using SMB over IPv6, which works in the usual Windows way. Windows 2003 also supports printing via the standard TCP lpr printing port, allowing it to send jobs to Unix print servers.

For people using traditional Unix printing, Solaris's lp system and FreeBSD's lpd both work over IPv6. Those using LPRng,[11] a reimplementation of the BSD print spooler, seem to be out of luck. It once claimed to support IPv6, but we had no luck getting version 3.8.21 to work and there do not seem to have been any recent efforts to fix this.

CUPS is also acquiring IPv6 support and should have full IPv6 support in version 1.2.
