This works now (had to add the
"ip6.sin6_scope_id=if_nametoindex("ippusbxd");"). So ippusbxd is running
now mirroring the printer onto fe80::e828:7eff:fe19:9962, port 60000 on
the ippusbxd interface.

This would especially mean that I can access the printer's web admin
interface by pointing a browser to this address so I try the simple
command line browser wget:
