I also had the same problem. I also have mailed about the problem before but didn't find a proper solution. Seems quite a few people have this problem with the printer configuration in 9.1 Pro.
But luckily it worked when I upgraded to KDE 3.4. I don't know if this had made a difference, but after updating to KDE 3.4, I configured a network printer to work with my machine. Now I am able to take printouts on the network printer from my machine without any problem(so far).
One of my friends is still with the default KDE version that came with SuSE. Her printer configuration still hangs at 50%.

Suse 9.1:

Any idea how I can fix this? Not very nice when system config tools hang.
I too have this problem and sadly didn't get any replies when I asked a few days ago (I didn't receive Chris's message either, don't know why). Looks like we need to collect some information. I have several systems: 9.1 on pentium4, kde 3.2.1, kernel 2.6.4-52-smp - works fine on a couple of machines 9.2 on dual xeon & dual opteron, kde 3.3.0, kernel 2.6.8-24.14-smp - fails on three machines (at 60% rather than 50% :) I've attached the part from /var/log/YaST2/y2log where I tried to configure the printer. I don't know what it all means but the last part looks suspiciously like what Chaitanya's did: 2005-05-25 16:31:51 <1> suse1(28908) [YCP] Printerdb.ycp:258 Checking foomatic database 2005-05-25 16:31:53 <3> suse1(28908) [Interpreter] Printer.ycp:956 Parsing file '/var/lib/YaST2/printers' failed 2005-05-25 16:31:53 <3> suse1(28908) [Interpreter] Printer.ycp:956 SCR::Read() failed I too have a zero-length file called /var/lib/YaST2/printers, last written at that time.
