[Samba] CUPS: Report errors and problems back to Windows clients

Hi there,

my CUPS server runs fine, I can print from within Windows and Linux.
However, if I stop the printer in CUPS or some other error occurs,
Windows clients never get notified, neither via IPP nor via SMB
printing. Windows always sends out the print job, the user thinks the
job has been print, although some problem might have happened on the
CUPS server.

Is it possible to report errors and problems back to Windows clients?
Like having Windows giving out a printer error when the CUPS server
can't print? Must be something like "don't spool and forget about the
job, but instead wait from CUPS reply".

Is something like that possible?

Thanks
Florian
