By default, samba has a list of magic words it looks for when trying to 
determine if the printer is ready to run:

static const char *stat2_strings[] = { "jam", "paper", "error", "responding", "n
ot accepting", "not running", "turned off", NULL };

If any of those words show up in your lpq output, windows will report 
the printer not being ready.  They're all defined in 
source/printing/lpq_parse.c  You may be facing something like this...
