AirPrint/IPP Everywhere works over wired network as well, no need to 
require wifi.

AFAIK the reason why some features are missing doesn't have to be only 
because AirPrint/IPP Everywhere design. There can be an issue in 
printer's IPP implementation or in CUPS itself. IMO driverless protocols 
tend to supply basic functionality, so you don't have to worry whether 
your device will be supported on a different OS.

And if user is satisfied with features provided by AirPrint/IPP 
Everywhere (which is subjective), I wouldn't push him to a printer 
driver/printer application. In case he needs further features of the 
printer, use printer driver or printer application.
