Yes.  The kernel will say that, and then send the print job anyway.
Does the job actually print?

Yes.  It is telling you your printer is broken :-).  There's no
software problem here.  Your printer stupidly reports offline status.

I'll be the first to admit that maybe the offline message should go
away, or be behind boot verbose.
