I had a problem with Samba 2.2.5 with the printers being
permanantly paused to Windows machines. They could print OK - it
was only the status that was wrong.
The reason for this was because I had used the word office in the
printer name / comment. This was causing the parser which
recognises the printer status to find 'off' pausing the printer.
A quick fix for this is to replace the line in source/printing/lpq_parse.c
Do a search for the line stat1_strings is defined and put a space on
both sides of off. The line should read something like
static char *stat1_strings[] = { "offline", "disabled",
"down", " off ",
"waiting", "no daemon", NULL };
This stops the printer being paused (after recompiling & restarting).
This might cause a problem if your printer status does actually report
"off" somewhere in the line but a quick test of a HP jetdirect printer
didn't mention off at all when turned off.
Hope this helps someone somewhere cause I spent a couple of
hours trying to solve this

[Samba] Printers Always Paused - A Solution
Every time my HP Laserjet 6P connected to a JetDirect Print Server is printing, the status in Windows 98/2K changes to Paused.
