A friend of mine is having this problem. When cups stops printing, I think you will find /usr/bin/enable <printer> (you will have to use the full path else bash will complain) will get the printers working again without restarting cups.
Secondly you could try using the IPP protocol from the Window boxes instead of using samba for printing. I believe this may prevent the printer stopping for unknown reasons.
Hey Graham, the ipp setup is new to me. what do I need to do to set this up so the windows clients can print this way. I want to try it out an see if it solves my problem. thanks jack
