Re: [LOW] STR #4305: Avahi reports IPv6/IPv4 and "dnssd" CUPS backend only tries IPv6, no IPv4 fallback

[STR Closed w/o Resolution]

This is an Avahi bug - there is no zone ID in the address, and the address
is link-local (zone ID required).

Just using the hostname (and praying that the distro/OS that is using
Avahi has bothered to setup Avahi to do resolution of .local names) isn't
going to help, all it will do is create another bug report that printing
is "slow" because we'll try IPv6 and then fall back to IPv4 when the IPv6
connection times out.
