Thank a lot for your answer. Unfortunately, I just saw it AFTER posting
my reply above....so I'll not post a bug report, as it's really not a
bug. But I will read up using your supplied link.
May one ask, just out of curiousity, eh why was the Yast Printer thing
rewritten from scratch? To me, it worked just fine?

Anyhow, thank you for your time and answer. I'm on to it!

Best regards,
Verner
