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.
