As I'm mentioned to Xerox and (indirectly) to several other users in
the same boat, having a printer-state of "stopped" has serious side-
effects with CUPS.

Our hack of "waitprinter=no" combined with the existing changes in
CUPS 1.3.9 and later to not pause the local queue when the remote
queue reports "paused" should prevent the queue from getting stopped.
