Printers accept jobs while set to off-line.

Normally both of those backends will wait for the printer to report
that it has completely printed the job before moving on to the next.

However, if you turn a printer off in the middle of a job, it is
possible to lose that one job if all of the print data has been sent
and the backend is just waiting for the "all clear" from the printer.

That said, an off-line printer should never cause this problem -
instead, the backends should be waiting for the printer to come
on-line before sending their jobs...
