You wrote "I enabled the cups service in the firewall module of yast".
Please describe in more detail how exactly you did it.
I wonder how you did this because since a longer time
(since openSUSE 11.3) the cups RPM package does no longer
provide /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2.d/services/cups
so that there is no longer a predefined service "cups"
available in the YaST firewall module.
On my openSUSE 12.3 system, there is no file
/etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2.d/services/cups
In other words:
Since a longer time we do no longer support to remove
firewall protection from CUPS easily.
Reason:
In almost all cases (when the external zone is accessible
from a non-trusted network, in particular from the Internet)
it is plain wrong to remove firewall protection from CUPS
in the external zone. For background information see
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_and_SANE_Firewall_settings
In exceptional cases if you really need CUPS to be accessible
from the external zone (when your particular external zone
is only accessible from trusted networks), you must do the
firewall settings that are appropriate in your particular case
manually.
