The one thing that it would do is to eliminate the search for a well supported printer on linux, as you would know that the open source ones were well supported.

The situation that always seems to happen to me is I need a printer ASAP. When shopping, I might find support for the Brother HL-2270DW in linux, but my local store might have a "Brother HL-2275DW" in stock (made up model number). So I'm wondering if the driver for the 2270 will work on the 2275, etc.

Pretty much any modern printer with a network interface supports IPP.
