We're still experiencing the same bug on multiple computers running 10.04 with HPLIP versions from 3.13.10 up to 3.14.10. Affected printers have been: M1536dnf, HP M125nw and the M1212nf. The only workaround I've found so far that's susceptible for our end users who don't have admin rights is to run "cupsenable $PRINTERNAME" every few minutes via crontab. A real solution would be very useful. (beh does not help us as we need the scanning capability of the hplip drivers). I can provide more information if required.

This is silly because there's no notice about that in the print dialog nor in the print queue: you have to go to System->Administration->Printing, and be very clever to understand how to re-enable the printer. In most cases, the fact that something failed doesn't mean other documents won't print, and generally users will figure the error better by themselves than with a paused printer. This is in Lucid, cups 1.4.3-1ubuntu1.3 (not sure it's the same behavior in Maverick).
