Additionally, on the subject of printer state and the HPLIP CUPS
backend, I sent a patch to the HPLIP developers yesterday to add some
simple 'STATE:' output for things like media-empty.  This way, printing
to a remote CUPS queue that uses HPLIP will copy the remote
printer-state-reasons locally, and the user submitting the job will
easily be able to see the problem.
