Those aren't commands to be run. They're lines that go in a config file. 
Not clear in the forum post I know.

Most config files start with a comment with the name of the file and 
it's full path on the first line. In this case:
#/etc/cups/cups.d/ports.conf

So create the file "/etc/cups/cups.d/ports.conf" (without quotes) and 
add those lines to it. AFAIK that file is not included by default. Then 
execute the command "sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart" (without quotes).

HTH,
