No solution, but probably a hint:
Are your printer status-messages generated with a non-default lifetime?
I've seen a similar behaviour for status-msgs with a long lifetime: my
suspicion is that xymon (xymongen/bbgen?) does no re-evaluation of the
status-color until the lifetime expired in that case.

I have printer: Printer143
It is disabled and was done so using the command:
$BB $BBDISP "disable ${HOST}.* -1 offline" to allow a
‘ping’ to enable it
It is BLUE and querying it shows that it is BLUE:
/home/xymon/server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "query Printer142.conn"
blue <!-- [flags:OrdAsTLe] --> Wed Apr 6 10:58:39 2011
conn ok
If you go to the ‘conn’ web page for Printer142, it shows:
BLUE boarder and BLUE ICON but under history, it shows:
GREEN diamond IP-of-Printer is alive (0.57 ms)
The device answers a ‘ping’.
I when into ADMINISTATION: Enable/Disable and enabled the Printer.
There are no devices left to Enable.
I stopped and restarted Xymon also.
I tried to ‘enable’ the Printer with:
/home/xymon/server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "enable Printer142.conn"
Multiple times
But the device still shows BLUE/DISABLED.
I am running Xymon 4.3.0-0.beta2 and have been for over a year and have
not experienced this problem.
I monitor multiple printers in multiple buildings and this is happening
to 14 out of 28 Printers.
Is there a way to get these devices ENABLED again short of removing and
loading them again?
