Go to k-menu(bottom left green button)-->Utilities-->Printing-->Printing Manager
At the bottom click on the Administrator Mode button and enter root's password. Highlight the printer by single clicking on it. Then click on the properties tab. Next click on the interface tab on the left. Report back as to what the interface is, the full text as shown. You either have it set as a paralell printer or have the IP/port set wrong.
Printer type: Network Printer URI: socket:192.168.0.31:9100
This is the setting from YAST. I also enabled port 9100 on the firewall.
That would be correct for a HP JetDirect. You might try deleting the printer and add it using the Printing Manager, it has always served me well. Also double check the driver and try a different one as a test.

I am using a netgear print server that goes on the parallel port of a printer with the ethernet cable plugged into network switch.

Aha!! The netgear print server that I have here doing the same thing (to a parallel printer) uses ports of 4010 and 4020 for the two parallel ports that it has. I would guess your port is not specified correctly.
