[cups] Print queues disabled due to wrong paper size specified

I have problem where cups print queues on a server become disabled when jobs 
with wrong paper size are sent.
Queues in both server and client have error policy "retry-job" or "abort-job" 
set but jobs are not retried or aborted, instead the print queue on the server 
gets disabled.

D [29/Oct/2020:11:56:02 +0100] [Job 204] PID 10101 
(/usr/lib/cups/backend/papercut) stopped with status 4.
I [29/Oct/2020:11:56:02 +0100] [Job 204] Backend returned status 4 (stop 
printer)

If I eliminate the papercut backend the ipp backend has the same behaviour.

cups is version 2.3.0 on the server.

An URI on the server:

DeviceURI papercut:ipp://129.16.211.180:631/ipp


Any idea how to fix this problem?
