What ErrorPolicy do you have set in /etc/cups/printers.conf, and have you tried ErrorPolicy abort-job. Now I know that you like testing your printers with real 80 page jobs, but have you thought of putting a stack of discarded output into the feed hopper (to conserve paper) and printing jobs that have a single character on each page (to conserve ink/toner) so you can test the printers reaction to Cancel while you play with the settings. > However, I cannot recall if changes to group are instant or need a reboot > to fully effect them.

Sorry, make that a "Just Works(TM) until the next bare metal install, which starts the 3 ring circus of getting networking to actually work again..." sticker.
