New installation of Leap. 
Fully patched and updated during the installation. 
Printer Lexmark C543 over USB. 

Setup of printer in yast. The printer is seen immediately. All packages with
printerdrivers (openprinting) are already installed during initial
installation. 
The driver is not found. Search for "any other". Gives empty result. 
You see the database building (following the bar) but it is way to fast. Go
out, go to Yast. Do a forced reinstall of ghostscript packages (as this
reminded me the issue in 13.2). Restart CUPS. 
Now the database does build, the right driver is installed and the printer
prints perfectly. 

For who has experienced the bug in 13.2 this is chickenfeed. Nevertheless it
can leave a new customer in search for a solution. That is why I am reporting
this. 
I did not try if with a network-printer it was the same.
