Hi;
The fact that you indicate that you are chek marking a printer as enabled leads me to believe you are not using the cups web page to configure your printers. Is that true? If so that is a mistake. Use the web interface ans maybe your troubles will disappear.
I am not using the Cups web page printer setup. I have tried both. George (the system-configure-printer gui) and Cups are supposed to be equivalent in FC6. (system-configure-printer gui is quite a mouthful, so I just call the little printer icon George).
At least that is what I have been told Fedora is striving for. In any case, Cups gives me no joy, in fact it makes things worse by not printing anything ( but I haven't looked into why).
Just went through the same exercise using Cups:631 to install my printer. Still end up with 'enabled' switching itself off.
hplip. HP wrote and donated it for a purpose. Try it.
I am baffled.
