Considering the widespread use of bash it is certainly unfortunate that
it is the same as a bash builtin.

As noted in /usr/share/doc/cupsys/README.Debian.gz
Miscellaneous Tips
------------------
[...]
- You may encounter some problems using the "enable" command under
bash, as "enable" is a builtin there. As a workaround, I've
created the "cupsenable" command, which acts exactly as "enable"
does. There are also "cupsdisable", "cupsaccept", and "cupsreject"
commands for consistency.
