If package version downgrade is sufficiently easy for the user I will think about printer driver version upgrades for Leap.
Yes, but many users do not know how to do it. Ie, fire yast package manager, go to the version tab, manually select the appropriate version (which may come from the OSS repo, not from update repo), etc.
I have an additional question:
Is it possible to provide a package version upgrade for Leap in an optional way?
Yes, updates can be marked optional. YaST online update does not mark them, but they are offered on display. However, the short description (meaning a line or two) must make clear to the user that he should not apply the update unless he has this or that problem. With my user hat on, I'd say that it is very tempting to "tick" any optional update ;-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
