In the IPP Everywhere future, printers simply work
Ah, my sweet naive child. There is no such thing as 'printers simply working', it's just a story that we tell to keep away the nightmares

It's incredible that they get reliably outperformed on their own professional printers by software written by microscopic third parties (like http://www.quadtonerip.com/html/QTRoverview.html), the reduction in bronzing, gloss differential etc. is night and day.
Of course if there is just one party who tells you what to do it’s not that hard. The manufacturer just has to swallow their pride and do it.
(Lexmark color laser printer using AirPrint on macOS and iOS; installing Lexmark’s drivers fixes the problem)
So in other words, it works until… well it doesn’t
I'm partial to using a raspi as a print server. I don't think I restarted it once over a five or six year period, and it doubled as a controller for my UPSes.
