I don't know if Windows computers can automatically load printers shared
over SSDP. There may be a lot I don't know ;-).
I can't find any mention of it though.
However a visitor needing to select manually a printer that is
accessible in some list, is not all that bad.
I mean a list you would need to browse to.
Good luck with your A4 paper size.
