Even though I have configured an ErrorPolicy=retry-job both in cupsd.conf and printers.conf when the printer runs out of paper the job is aborted with an error similar to "E [20/Feb/2010:11:17:31 -0300] [Job 75] Unable to write 8192 bytes to printer!". Then I have to send a new job filtering out the already printed pages.

Because the printer isn't sending an "out-of-paper" condition, it is just closing the connection.
