Therein it reads "Status: Wird gedru..."
which I understand as "Status: Is printing".

the job is stuck. It looks as if the job is
in an "actively printing" state.

It seems either Windows is somehow unable to get
the print job data into the printer device
or the printer device is somehow unable to
print out something when it gets that kind of
print job data.
