YaST2 Printer configurator (printconf) should help user to set up local and network printers.
Requires: CUPS
Does not work with LPRng
History: Until 8.0 printer configuration supported only LPRng based spoolers. CUPS was supported via separate configuration module. Versions 8.1 to 9.0 supported both LPRng and CUPS. Since 9.1 only CUPS is supported.
For understanding the printer configuration problems you should keep in mind that there is a difference between physical device - Printer and logical device - Queue. There can be any number of queues assigned to one printer.
There can be special kind of queue - raw queue. This queue doesn't perform filtering and sends the data to the printer unchanged.
