The fact that you indicate that you are chek marking a printer as
enabled leads me to believe you are not using the cups web page to
configure your printers. Is that true? If so that is a mistake. Use the
web interface ans maybe your troubles will disappear.

A manager went to his programmers and told them: "As regards to your
work hours: you are going to have to come in at nine in the morning and
leave at five in the afternoon." At this, all of them became angry and
several resigned on the spot. So the manager said: "All right, in that
case you may set your own working hours, as long as you finish your
projects on schedule." The programmers, now satisfied, began to come in
a noon and work to the wee hours of the morning. -- Geoffrey James, "The
Tao of Programming"
