Problems printing in correct format #1

Hey there, thanks for the excellent write up to make a Pi into a print server for a Dymo 4xl. I got everything set up and a test page printed fine. When I added the printer to Windows 10, however, that's when things went wrong. There's no option to set the format in the printer found by windows to 4x6 like the Dymo 4xl uses, so it prints completely incorrectly. Through my iphone it prints fine. Is there any way to fix this? I believe the problem is that when I add it to windows (its discovered when I hit 'refresh' since its on my network) it adds it with a microsoft ipp class driver which has only A4 and Letter size options, no 4x6. Thanks for any help at all!

My only guess is that you need to fins some other driver. But I don't have any experience with using the pi as a server from another computer. I have only used it for printing from within the pi with this c++ program.
