Do not edit /etc/cups/printers.conf while cupsd is running, as cupsd is modifying it. So first stop cupsd:

sudo systemctl stop cupsd

then edit the file and after that start cupsd again:

sudo systemctl start cupsd

Note that you only can edit the properties of permanent print queues. Queues which get temporarily created by CUPS or cups-browsed will loose the changes once they get removed and re-created.
