Yeah, I'm having an exactly the same problem - some of the printers get disabled and won't print after some time (I guess they were disconnected).

To enable them, I have to manually do:

# /usr/bin/enable PRINTERNAME

Which is a bit annoying, as often users just can't print until I do it.

Can I set up CUPS so that it could try to enable the printer automatically if it happens to be "disabled"?
