Thanks for the help. There is a way to get the information, but its
ugly.
Was hoping for a more straight forward method.
If a printer is down, I can us lpstat -l printer name to determine if a
job is stopped, but I could not figure out a way to easily determine the
status of jobs in the queue, such as stopped, processing, queued.

lpstat -- printer, queue, and job status
lp -- queue or alter print jobs
cancel -- cancels print jobs
Documentation is available:
man lpstat
man lp
man cancel
