I have a similar problem and I can not imagine that it is a hardware problem. I work with different printservers (Allnet / Intel) and different printers (HP / Kyocera) and from time to time most of the printers are disabled.

The only diffrence is the backend. I am working with the LPD Backend.

The error message in error_log:
Unable to send trailing nul to printer: Broken Pipe
Remote host did not accept data file (32)
PID 29618 stopped with status 1!

The Cups-Version is 1.1.23 and the OS is SuSE 9.3
