I suppose this should work ok if done when cupsd is not running. I'd be
inclined to modify the existing queue or set up a new one. A virtual
queue would allow testing Tea4CUPS without wrapping the backend.

The printer is being powered on by some type of electronic switch?

http:// is a symlink the ipp backend. It's always useful to know what
model of printer is being used.

tea4cups.conf is the configuration file for Tea4CUPS. I guess you are
using a prehook or posthook to activate the printer; we really need to
know what you have for it (including any associated script). What part
does TEABILLING play in the process?
