Buy a new printer.

Well, no kidding. The message you get occasionally tells you that the printer closes the connection
when it should not do so. CUPS cannot but treat this as an error and stops the queue to prevent
(further) losss of data to be printed.

PS: to be honest, the error may be caused by a bogus router or weak hardware somewhere in your
network, of course.
