I thought this was a SAMBA bug when I ran up against it.

The strings SAMBA looks for are in source/printing/lpq_parse.c, lines 948-950 (as of 
Samba 2.2.4).  "off" is in the list of things to interpret as special.  As is the word 
"paper", so if you have any printers with "paper" in the name, the status will always 
show up as "Paused" or "Stopped" to windows users.  

We ran across this with our color printer queues "cl-paper" and "cl-slide" (paper and 
transparency media, respectively).  cl-paper was always "Paused", even though it 
processed jobs.  Apparently Samba thought it was out of paper...
