Stanley Sokolow, to your last paragraph, this problem I have fixed now, at least for USB. You need to install the hal-cups-utils package. Then as soon as you unplug the printer or turn it off, the queue gets disabled, and as soon as you plug/turn on the printer again, the queue gets re-enabled again.
