Adding delays isn't what I would call a good solution though.
It still won't handle the case of the printer just being out of paper for 12 hours.
Does CUPS have special handling for printers that have their own spool space, and happily spool jobs internally?  One of the printers we are having this problem with has a big HD and spools jobs to it.
We are wondering if the CUPS/Printer communications handles the case when the printers internal spool space fills.
