Not really. I was surprised that my network printer actually supported IPv6 with SLAAC and DHCPv6.

The current recommendation for printers and other similar 'local' devices is to use ULA prefixes (or older site-local prefixes). They are not routed on the wide Internet, but can be routed inside a single organization.
