Does this mean that the printer itself can't send any error reporting e.g. out of ink, out of paper / media empty, etc? Or the printer can send error status but the backend can't? If it's the latter, does that mean that I have to make my own backend to throw any error reporting?

The queue *can* track this information, but only if the driver/backend
support that sort of status information.
