Cups Print job confirmation

I am using a USB attached printer and it works fine under cups, except when there is a printer jam that requires me to power off the printer to clear it.  When this happens I lose all the print jobs that are in the printers memory that are queued to print.  Cups thinks that these have already been printed because it has sent them to the printer.  I need cups to wait after each print job to make sure that all the pages have printed before clearing the job from the print queue and starting on the next one.  I'm regularly loosing documents and its critical that each of them print.  I don't want to have to keep up with which have printed successfully and which haven't so I can re-send them.  I want cups to make sure that the printer has finished printing before it clears the job.

Hopefully there is an option to enable this that I have overlooked.

Thanks for any help.

By the way I'm printing on a Zebra S4m label printer with the Zebra PPD.
