Well that was just one of the problems.

The problem here is that cupsenable isn't accepting the input password
(I typed it so many times so I'm sure it was correct).

Anyway it would be nice to make it tells what's the problem with the
password, for example "invalid password", rather than leave him
clueless as in this case.

Regards.
