I've been on IPv6 for a long time. When I started with IPv6, the only

And I've been able to print using IPv6 on the $200 HP ethernet/wireless
printer I bought over 18 months ago...

And a $100 Samsung laser printer here, sold as long ago as 15 months. (Also an expensive color laser copier Ricoh started producing in 2007, although I don't know if it shipped with an IPv6-capable firmware.) Even printing isn't the last holdout. :-)

 Home entertainment devices, on the other hand... :-(
