I've had good results just by uninstalling the manufacturer's driver (Brother in my case) and configuring the printer/scanner to use IPP.

says this model is USB only, so does not have native support for IPP.
I recently saw a news item saying (IIRC) that MS intend to remove proprietary drivers from future Windows versions and "encouraging" manufacturers to use standard protocols, so at some future time expect them to stop supporting specific drivers for Linux.
Vendors aren't maintaining their legacy drivers so they often break when used with newer kernels. That leaves users relying on community supported PPD's. It may be possible support IPP using older drivers in a VM..
