  2. Print this page by pressing <Control>p. Select the appropriate IPv6 printer, select Print.
  3. Print the file /etc/fstab using the lp command. Note, if multiple printers are configured, you may need to use the -d parameter to select the correct printer.

Expected Results

  1. Adding an IPv6 printer using system-config-printer completes and prints a test page successfully.
  2. Printing using firefox completes successfully
  3. Printing using the lp command completes successfully
