I seem to have to choose a driver upon selecting the printer. It this expected ?

@matthiasg Unfortunately Windows doesn't have a default IPP driver as far as I know. So you need to chose a "dummy" printer driver manually. I usually just chose "HP Color LaserJet 2500 PS Class Driver":

That being said, there might be a way to tell Windows witch driver to use by modifying the TXT record when advertising or modifying some of the IPP responses. I'll have to look into that. If anyone knows please ping me!
