The error_log snippet shows a LPD backend error. The socket backend
does not have this sort of timeout in it and won't error out unless
someone turns the printer off in the middle of a job.

Right, the cupsd.conf Timeout parameter controls the scheduler's
timeout. For LPD printers, use:
lpd://host-or-ip/queue?timeout=NNN
where "NNN" is the number of seconds to wait.
