Cups Disables LPD Printer

[crash3m]

There is a little shorter way to do this, not that its the fix that I think should be in place...

!/bin/sh
if [ "`uname`" = "Linux" ]; then
	lpstat -t | grep disabled | awk '{printf("/usr/bin/enable %s\n", $2 )}'
fi

I've fiddled with timeouts until I got CTS and the printers are still disabled after 5 minutes :/
