You can use the below code which use PrintQueue to get the status PrintQueueStatus of printer:

public static void GetPrintStatus()  
        {  
            PrintQueue pq = LocalPrintServer.GetDefaultPrintQueue();  
            switch (pq.QueueStatus)  
            {  
                case PrintQueueStatus.None:  
                    Console.WriteLine("Status is not specified");  
                    break;  
                case PrintQueueStatus.OutputBinFull:  
                    Console.WriteLine("The printer's output bin is full");  
                    break;  
                case PrintQueueStatus.PaperOut:  
                    Console.WriteLine("The printer does not have, or is out of, the type of paper needed for the current print job");  
                    break;  
                case PrintQueueStatus.Printing:  
                    Console.WriteLine("Printer is printing");  
                    break;  
                default:  
                    Console.WriteLine(pq.QueueStatus);  
                    break;  
            }  
        }
