Section 3.1.3.1.1 says:
The Printer object MUST return one of the following "status-code" values for the indicated reason. Whether all of the document data has been accepted or not before returning the success or error response depends on implementation. See Section 13 in [RFC2911] for a more complete description of each status code.
It should say:
The Printer object MUST return one of the following "status-code" values for the indicated reason. The Printer object MUST accept all document data before returning the success or error response. See Section 13 in [RFC2911] for a more complete description of each status code.
Notes:
HTTP (RFC 2616) classifies POST as a non-idempotent method, so a conforming server implementation may only return an error status or 100-continue as described in sections 8.1.2.2 and 8.2.2 of RFC 2616. Essentially, the printer cannot respond to the POST until it has processed all of the request message body, otherwise how would it report chunking or other protocol errors? And how would a client reliably send or a server reliably process multiple IPP requests (as POST messages) when a server provides an early response?

if if client and server

User-Agent identifies the client software to the Printer, which may in fact be useful for implementing workarounds, etc.

Section 4.5 says:
The IPP object model does not prohibit a job that contains no documents. Such a job may be created in a number of ways including a 'create-job' followed by an 'add-document' that contains no data and has the 'last-document' flag set.

Notes:
The operation is called "Send-Document", not "add-document"...
