Just out of curiosity, why do you consider this a 'braindamage'?  You define
a printer using lpadmin, you 'enable' it and you make it 'accept'
requests. Of course, you can also 'disable' it and make it 'reject'
requests. These are all SYSV lp commands: enable, disable, accept, reject.

Or maybe they should be 'enbl', 'dsbl', 'accpt' and 'rjct' ? :-)
