This means that print jobs sent to the printer will not print untill the printer is unpaused. This setting is used mainly for maintenance purposes.

In the Window you will see your printer, double-click your printer 5.) This screen will show you active print jobs, to pause or unpause the printer click File then click "Pause printing"
If the printer icon is displaying in the top right (on the panel) you can right-click to get pause/resume options. Or you could try System > Admin > Printers
There should be a printer icon in the notification area. You can double-click on that to bring up the printer status. If the icon is not there, you can go to Start -> Control Panel -> Printers and double-click on your printer. The first item in the print queue should be listed as paused. Right-clock on it and select Resume from the context menu.
