I.e. you use the IPP protocol to talk to a network printer.
Why?
See
http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/network.html
and try to use a recommended protocol (if possibly for
your particular network printer).

See "man backend" why an ErrorPolicy setting doesn't help
if the backend explicitely requests the cupsd to stop the queue.
