This is a desired action by CUPS.  You don't want to send print jobs 
into the 'ether'.  If the printer is disabled because it is turned off, 
you can re-enable it after the printer is turned on.  It could be 
possible to turn back on the printer in CUPS through a script, but I 
have not done so and I use the web interface to restart the printer.
