Most modern printer/scanner multi-function devices are driverless. The printer 
part does driverless IPP printing and gets discovered by CUPS without any 
special setup and the scanner part does AirPrint (eSCL and/or WSD) and often 
(eSCL), thanks to Thierry's driver the device already works with sane-backends 
itself, but with Alexander Pevzner's sane-airscan more devices (supports both 
eSCL and WSD, or if special quirks need to get addressed) are supported. Both 
drivers come with all major distros.
