Hangs, as in never returns? Is the printer powered on, online, and
connected to the network? Are you able to ping the printer's IP
address? I suppose if you had a very large number of print jobs out
there waiting to be printed that could "hang" lpstat. You can check
the /var/spool/lp/requests directory to see if you have a large number
of files in there.

Is this printer configured as an HP Network printer?
