Title:
  Printer shouldn't be paused after "hp" CUPS backend failed

Status in HP Linux Imaging and Printing:
  Confirmed
Status in “hplip” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: cups

  When printing fails for some reason ("backend failed" message),
  printer is paused, and won't resume automatically, even after a
  reboot. 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).
