Well, the !@#$$#@ that had the brilliant idea of calling a CUPS program
"enable" is to blame for this.   IMHO the CUPS maintainer should have
overriden the idioticity(sp?) and renamed it to "cups_enable" or something
like that.

Anyway, run /usr/bin/enable <printername> instead.  That will avoid the
colision with the bash builtin (which, for some reason, doesn't happen
here).
