Thank you!  I had not been able to find that, guess I missed it some
how.

This is a FAQ...

The displayed date is for backwards compatibility with CDE and some
other applications that rely on the exact output format of the lpstat
command.  In CUPS 1.1.x, the actual time/date information was not
available from the scheduler, so we displayed time 0 to satisfy the
old legacy apps.

In CUPS 1.2 and beyond, we now track the state change time and display
it in the lpstat output if it is available; if we don't know the last
time of a state change, then we fall back to time 0...
