/**
 * Class PrinterState is a printing attribute class, an enumeration, that 
 * identifies the current state of a printer. Class PrinterState defines 
 * standard printer state values. A Print Service implementation only needs 
 * to report those printer states which are appropriate for the particular 
 * implementation; it does not have to report every defined printer state. The 
 * {@link PrinterStateReasons PrinterStateReasons} attribute augments the 
 * PrinterState attribute to give more detailed information about the printer
 * in  given printer state. 
 * <P>
 * <B>IPP Compatibility:</B> The category name returned by 
 * <CODE>getName()</CODE> is the IPP attribute name.  The enumeration's 
 * integer value is the IPP enum value.  The <code>toString()</code> method 
 * returns the IPP string representation of the attribute value.
