Just set error policy = retry-job (rather than stop-printer) in the printer
options for your printer.  It will then keep retrying until the problem
goes away.  Obviously there's also a problem which causes the queue to
be disabled (e.g. printer switched off or out of paper), which you might
need to look at separately.
