When you say other programs, what do you mean?  KMail uses kprinter 
mechanism as does all other kde programs, so if they work, kmail should 
also.  But if you are using or testing with say OO or Moz or some other 
program not using the kprinter, then your comparison is not correct.  

You say CUPS is setup to print to a remote printer, so you know your 
connection to the printer is ok.  I would first check the settings in 
the kprinter window to see if it is finding or going to that printer as 
well, don't just assume it does.  Also, you might want to update your 
KDE files from SuSE to bring your kmail up to a new version.

 On any other day, that might seem strange...
