You DID restart cups after that change, correct? "rccups restart"

Generally the way to do this is to make two entries in cups
one for the linux side (defining the printer exactly as what it is) and
one for the windows side defining the printer only as RAW (because
windows already have the drivers).

(I prefer to use the built in cups software rather than yast, by
pointing my web browser at http://localhost:631/ )
