I've the same problem with CUPS 1.1.21 (Suse 9.2)! My customers get
angry calling me permanently to enable printer queues. Please 
developers, implement a function that stops disabling! Otherwise I have 
to avoid CUPS where I can and replace it by samba.

(In my case cups is printing to a lpd host)

Perhaps somebody here has a script that checks all printer queue states 
and enables all printers that are disabled? Aim is to run the script as 
cronjob.
