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.

Thats what im doing now, clearing the queue out an restarting cupsd. I'm going to try out what the other guy suggested next time one of them stops. if that want work i might just have to setup ipp on eatch workstation as in his second option. Do not really want to do that since it server will queue up jobs for all users an only have the one queue. with the ipp option it seems you will have a queue on each machine that is setup for i. I'm not sure if its pdf files here stopping it but it could be since we do use some pdf files here in our online storage system we developed. jack
