Package: cupsys
Version: 1.1.20final+rc1-5
Severity: normal

My mother's USB Deskjet has problems once in a while and the printer
gets reset. However, this causes cupsys to mark the printer as offline,
and to make it online again I have to either go into the web interface
to enable that printer or ssh in and use cupsenable.

Could there be a way for cupsys to keep checking the status of the
printer whenever possible and try to enable it when it's offline?
Currently I am trying to fix this by using a cronjob every 1 minute that
calls 'cupsenable deskjet'.

Next, something minor: how about 'cupsenable -a' to enable all avialable printers if not already online?

This would greatly enhance the so-called Debian desktop experience.
