I do not remember any such issue report from any user,
therefore I assume it is no bug in CUPS.

What does
# find /etc/cups | xargs grep -i ErrorPolicy
result?

What does
# grep -i '^DeviceURI' /etc/cups/printers.conf
result?

The ErrorPolicy in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf specifies only the
default ErrorPolicy when there is no ErrorPolicy setting
in /etc/cups/printers.conf see
http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/doc-1.3/ref-cupsd-conf.html
versus
http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/doc-1.3/ref-printers-conf.html

Regarding changing CUPS config files manually,
