Looks like all printers will need to be Mopria certified, which is the first time I've heard of this certification:

Mopria is a certification program for / dialect of IPP[0]. Same thing with AirPrint, which is the iOS equivalent. Pretty much every printer made in the last decade speaks enough IPP to network print on at least iOS and Android; Microsoft is just leveraging that to seal HP's garbage code out of the spooler process.

Incredible fittingly that page just shows me `Undefined constant "C_DESCRIPTION_SOFTWARE"`. Presumably it doesn't support deep linking?
From the comment section it appears that it just needs to support the mopria standard. There is no requirement that it is actually certified.
