Yes, I'm saying that jobStateReasons is something a DPA server might know about
but not (practically) many printers.

There are 4 sets of jobStateReasons... just look at the first (presumably
most importatn?) set...

canceledByUser, canceledByOperator, abortedBySystem, logfilePending,
jobRetained etc.

In v0.81 the PDF version (I think) see pages 49-56.
