I have experienced the same thing: if you insert manual feed paper before
you are asked for it, the light doesn't go out.  If you wait until the
light comes on first, it goes out.  I assume that this is merely annoying.

BUT, I have had a problem (once, then couldn't recreate it) where I printed
a FreeHand 2 document, and the printer "spooled up" to the high-pitched
whine it has...and stayed there.  Thirty seconds and the paper still
hadn't come through.  It had been sucked down to the first stop--where it
can pause for as long as 5 seconds at times--but it went no farther.  So
I turned the printer off.  Sometime I will investigate this...
