For CUPS 1.1.x and earlier, the "enable" and "disable" commands are
used, e.g.:

     /usr/bin/enable printername
     /usr/bin/disable printername

In CUPS 1.2, we've renamed these (System V) commands to cupsenable
and cupsdisable to prevent confusion with the Bash enable command.
They are also now in /usr/sbin since they are admin commands:

     /usr/sbin/cupsenable printername
     /usr/sbin/cupsdisable printername
