It works as soon as you have CUPS. No need to wait for Gnome, KDE et to catch up and/or agree on things. Updated immediately with CUPS - the usual benefits of web apps.

Doesn't prevent a more traditional API also being used.

Moreover, the way printer and peripheral support for Linux is going (in the wrong direction as far as I can see), a general move to embedded web technologies is quite helpful.
