I dont know about HP-UX 11.31...
Could you show me a portion of lpstat -t output with some disabled printers ? (between code tags please...)
And a bit of more explanation about the configuration: People connect to your network using PCs... do some processing, but where are the printers? Are they the remote connected to those remote PC?
And I forgot silly thing methyl is right bad plan to try to use lpstat if you have a lot since it will wait for a timeout if at the other end there is no one... we will have to find something else...

enable(1) User Commands enable(1)
NAME
enable, disable - enable/disable LP printers
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/enable printer...
/usr/bin/disable [-c | -W] [-r [reason]] printer...
DESCRIPTION
The enable command activates printers, enabling them to print requests submitted by the lp command. enable must be run on the printer
server.
The disable command deactivates printers, disabling them from printing requests submitted by the lp command. By default, any requests that
are currently printing on printer are reprinted in their entirety either on printer or another member of the same class of printers. The
disable command must be run on the print server.
Use lpstat -p to check the status of printers.
Generally, enable and disable are run on the print server to control local print queues. Under some configurations, they can also be run on
client systems when IPP is being used to communicate between client and server.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported for use with disable:
-c Cancels any requests that are currently printing on printer. This option cannot be used with the -W option. If the printer
is remote, the -c option is silently ignored.
-W Waits until the request currently being printed is finished before disabling printer. This option cannot be used with the -c
option. If the printer is remote, the -W option is silently ignored.
-r [reason] Assigns a reason for the disabling of the printer(s). This reason applies to all printers specified. This reason is reported
by lpstat -p. Enclose reason in quotes if it contains blanks. The default reason is unknown reason for the existing printer,
and "new printer" for a printer added to the system but not yet enabled.
OPERANDS
The following operand is supported for both enable and disable:
printer The name of the printer to be enabled or disabled. Specify printer using atomic or URI-style (scheme://endpoint) names. See
printers.conf(4) regarding the naming conventions for destinations.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
non-zero An error occurred.
