The default installation of SuSE printers uses A4 paper, which will cause your printer to hang up. It happened to me and it took a while to figure out what was going on. CUPS also has to be told (separately, I think) what the paper size is. For Americans, it should be letter size. The setting is in the filter parameters of the printer.
Since I ask lots of questions, perhaps I can do a good turn for others here.

That makes a refreshing change, after 25 years of Microsoft products defaulting to US Letter and hanging everybody elses printers, sounds like you are getting some of your own medicine back :-D -- "I got to go figure," the tenant said.
