I have no clue why you told YAST2 the above URI and why you use http instead 
of the IPP connection I mentioned.

I also went and connected to http://localhost:631 on my machine and defined 
the same printer by using the CUPs interface.   I got it to work but the 
examples they give for URI is a bit misleading because they don't give an 
example that fits....

the URI that works is:  ipp://192.168.1.101/printers/normal   (in your case)


I have no idea why you are not able to set this printer up in YAST2 as I 
originally described.


YAST2 --> hardware --> printer --> configure --> 
show more connection types --> NEXT --> IPP filtering --> NEXT --> 
<put in IP address of other machine> 
<put in the name of the printer on the other machine> --> 
test remote ipp access --> <select printer type> --> OK

Beyond the above...  I can't helt any more.....
