[Xymon] TS - Disabled and cannot Enable it

[Thomas Eckert]

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.
