The replacement of ippusbxd by ipp-usb is also important as ippusbxd sometimes causes problems which makes people end up not being able to print and scan at all.
See bug 1878974
An HP printer which works with HPLIP triggers the launch of ippusbxd, because the printer also supports IPP-over-USB and driverless printing and scanning, but due to the bugs (or architectural shortcomings) of ippusbxd the communication between the printer and CUPS/SANE does not work correctly, making printing and scanning fail.
On the development of ipp-usb these shortcomings were identified and fixed and according to user reports ipp-usb is reliable.
