------- Comment #9 from jsmeix@xxxxxxxxxx  2007-05-02 07:27 MST -------
The problem is that the old style usb URI does no longer work,
i.e. YaST must not set up any queue using "usb://dev/usb/lp0"
because it will simply not work.

In the special case of comment #8 it would be o.k. if YaST sets
up a queue using the file URI scheme like file:/dev/usb/lp0
but this does not work by default because of security reasons
there is by default no "FileDevice Yes" in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf see 
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=264219#c1
and I won't like YaST to open security problems if it writes
"FileDevice Yes" to cupsd.conf silenty and additionally this
requires a cupsd restart so that in the end I recommend to
simply not set up queues with a file URIs at all.

I think it is best to drop any hwinfo support in YaST printer
and rely only on what the CUPS backends report because this is
what is supposed to work.
Anything else is blind guess and plain luck.
