Hello,

If the YaST printer setup wizard checks already for a parallel printing device this feature should be very, very basic and easy to add. Should?. :)
The YaST printer module does not at all check for any printers. It only shows those printer connections which were already autodetected by CUPS (i.e. what the CUPS command line tool "lpinfo -l -v" shows when you run it as root).
CUPS autodetects, what can be autodetected in the current system. CUPS does not change the underlying system. In particular CUPS does not change the kernel by loading or re-loading kernel modules or change udev or whatever. Therefore this is also no issue for CUPS.
Furthermore YaST is not the right place because there are several other printer setup tools which all depend on a working base system: - Gnome printer setup tool (system-config-printer) - CUPS web frontend and CUPS command line tools (lpinfo, lpadmin) - for HP devices: HP's HPLIP driver setup tool "hp-setup" - KDE printer setup tool (is there one specific for KDE?)
A generic solution is needed.
