Because you haven't issued a command to run on that file. The first
thing you write on the command line must be a command. Bash therefore
interpreted your "cups/cupsd.conf" as a command, but the file is not
executable, ie, it does not have the permissions set which would allow
it to be "run". Hence "Permission denied".

What you want to do is use a command on the file. For example:

# less /etc/cups/cups.conf
