I tried that, and was rewarded with "Password for doug on localhost?"
I don't know what password it wants.  I have tried all the passwords that I
normally would use, and none of them work.   Then it says:

enable: Operation failed: client-error-not-authorized 

I don't know how to determine which version of CUPS is in use.  Whatever
came with Suse 9.3, I assume, unless YaST updated it along the way.
