If you send a job and the printer is switched off. The CUPS queue error-policy will determine what happens. The user has the following choices.

abort-job
retry-current-job
retry-job
stop-printer

Yes, this different than the current socket backend, but it is valid functionality for backends.

Typically the default error-policy is stop-printer. If retry-job is prefered, then the default error-policy should be changed.
