If you access the printers via direct TCP socket then you could
make your own simple backend using for example "netcat" to send
the data to the destination.

Nevertheless parameters in the DeviceURI how many retries
(up to infinite) a backend should do and how long it should
wait between two attempts and how long it should wait for
a printer status at the end (up to no wait at all) would
be nice to have - i.e. for all backends something like
