Printer is always paused

[felix8ve]

Whenever I try to print, the printer is paused. I was having trouble installing the drivers, I have now successfully installed them but now I am having this issue. 

I can obviously unpause the printer manually but I want to avoid having to do that workaround.

I would appreciate any suggestions.
