I don't know if this will be that helpful, but the
issue appears resolved.  I installed an older version
of yast2-printer (2.13.13-6 down from
2.13.19-something) that got me past the updating
driver entries section that was segfaulting before. 
Then, the info from
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=466535
was very helpful as well.

Thanks kalifq and anyone else who was looking into
this for me.
