I have seem my printers get very much disabled, and even stay disabled
after rebooting - I think it happened for me when the printer was off
and I tried to print.

Check that the printer is showing "Ready" in the Printers Administration
tool.

I've always used a shell prompt for this: Do "lpq" to check the status,
and use "enable" to enable the printer if its showing as not ready,
however I imagine that "resume" on the right click menu will do much the
same.
