I have a printer, which was installed and is working under CUPS, that seems to go offline of its own accord. And when that happens I have found no other option than to reboot. I know, I know...you should never have to reboot, but that's the only thing that seems to work. When I check out localhost:631 everything looks good, and all the uncompleted jobs are there patiently waiting to get processed. But, as I said, the jobs can't get done without a reboot. When I do reboot, just before the login prompt shows up, the printer jumps into action and all of the uncompleted jobs get processed. I should also point out that immediately after reboot the printer works flawlessly, printing on demand. It is only after being idle for a while that it just seems to go offline, without any warning.
