Maybe CUPS 1.2 will provide this feature. Currently, the only method I
can think of
is to write simple wrapper scripts around the backends you use that call
the original
backends and evaluate their exit codes. If that is not 0, the wrapper
may 
decide what to do next on some more or less heuristic rules (stop the
printer by itself exiting with a code > 0, filing an e-mail to the
system admin
or the like).
