Hi,

check this session:

Well epson-inkjet-aleph is disabled, so it looks like enable should
re-enable it.

stefano at geppetto ~/s/f/libavfilter> cupsenable epson-inkjet-aleph

epson-inkjet-aleph” terminated by signal SIGTERM (Polite quit request)

I typed at first with my user password, then I tried with the root
password, then I feel bored and pressed Control-C, no way, so I had to
killall cupsenable from another terminal.

Please fix this behaviour is... weird at least, also the program should
say something meaningful in case of invalid input, and it should let the
user to C-c the session.

Regards.
