You know that cups* is not the usual bash-like global, but a full-blown regular expression? cups* therefore matches cup, cupt, cupssssss, apcupsd, … What you seem to mean is more like ^cups.*$ But the usefulness highly depends on what you want as this includes also e.g. cups-dbg, which you properly not need… All in all we can help you better if you tell us what you want explicitly and what the exact output is. Some vague description and parts of an error message aren't enough for that. Rule of thumb: If in doubt, better include more instead of less.
