The client's scheduler will send the job to the server using the
IPP backend, so that's where you would need to add the WOL stuff.

That said, the tricky part is knowing the Ethernet MAC address, which
is why the current code does not support it... :(

You can certainly come up with a wrapper program that sends the WOL
packet to your server's MAC address, waits (sleeps) for a few seconds
for the server to wake up, and then execs the original IPP backend.
