I have added this line to /etc/hosts and it did not work:
fe80::e828:7eff:fe19:9962%ippusbxd ippusbxd-printers
I have also tried
fe80::e828:7eff:fe19:9962%25ippusbxd ippusbxd-printers
and also put "[...]" around the IP address. When I try to resolve the
name ippusbxd-printers (for example with "wget") I get something like
Dec 29 20:18:38 till-x1carbon systemd-resolved[1462]: Address
'fe80::e828:7eff:fe19:9962%ippusbxd' is invalid, in line /etc/hosts:10.
in /var/log/syslog.
If I add the line
fe80::e828:7eff:fe19:9962 ippusbxd-printers
wget can resolve the IP address from the name, but it cannot access as
the interface is not specified:
till@till-x1carbon:~$ wget ippusbxd-printers:60000
--2016-12-29 20:24:11-- http://ippusbxd-printers:60000/
Resolving ippusbxd-printers (ippusbxd-printers)... fe80::e828:7eff:fe19:9962

till@till-x1carbon:~$
Specifying the interface is not accepted by wget, wget considers the
interface as a part of the name:
till@till-x1carbon:~$ wget ippusbxd-printers%ippusbxd:60000
--2016-12-29 20:45:52-- http://ippusbxd-printers%25ippusbxd:60000/

till@till-x1carbon:~$ wget ippusbxd-printers%25ippusbxd:60000
--2016-12-29 20:45:59-- http://ippusbxd-printers%25ippusbxd:60000/

In Firefox it is even worse. The name, either with and without
specification of the interface is not resolved at all and Firefox tries
to add "www." and ".com".
