Start a queued print job
Side effect — physical motion. Streams the print file to the printer and starts the print. State transitions queued → processing atomically; reverts on failure. Error codes: NO_PRINTER_ASSIGNED / NO_HUB_ASSIGNED / PRINTER_UNAVAILABLE / PRINTER_MODEL_MISMATCH (400), PRINTER_NOT_FOUND / FILE_NOT_FOUND (404), JOB_STATE_CHANGED (409), HUB_OFFLINE / HUB_COMMAND_FAILED (503).
