Bug Description

Hello :),

Thanks for your hard work.
I have a printer Canon G7050.
And I configured the drivers to use it on USB only.
From time to time, I launch a print job, start the printer and forget to plug the USB cable in my laptop.
I think it would be a very nice addition to have the system send a notification:
"The print job cannot be sent because the USB printer is off or the cable is not plugged."
I'm not certain that this feature request belongs to cups.
Let me know if I should transfer this feature request somewhere else :)

Thanks, best regards,
     Laurent Lyaudet
