Printers disable

Hello,

I am running HPUX 11.23 on Intanium. All printers talks to Windows 2003 DNS server. Sometime when DNS server has to be restart or hang, many printers that are trying to print just disable. Then I need to go in SAM and enable all of them. Is there a way to tell UNIX to retry or wait? Can you help?

Tkx
