[opensuse] USB printer detection fails in Suse 11

Hi,
I can't get my printer working (a Samsung SCX4200), which I previously successfully attached to a Suse 10.1 installation, by using the manufacturer's "Unified Linux Driver".
In Suse 11 the printer is successfully listed with a "hwinfo --printers" or "yast2 printer" as attached USB device.
On the contrary, neither yast/cups, nor the Samsung driver can actually communicate with the printer, so the installation finally fails for obscure reasons.
Furthermore, the yast printer set-up has been triggered only once automatically, when connecting it for the first time after installation.
After uninstalling the Samsung driver and also reinstalling cups/yast related packages together with browsing related log- and configuration files I really have no idea why the printer communication fails.
Maybe someone can help me at least with an explanation how the USB printer autodetection/-configuration should work in detail, to figure out what is broken there?
Thanks a lot,
Andreas
