I have try your steps, but cups stop responding after I have been selecting the printer (HP LaserJet 1100). My steps are Administration - Add printer - I selected my model, and the my CUPs stop, and no configuration files are saved . Maybe I need to to chec some permision ?

I've checked out the new upgrades and found some problems - roughly the same ones as yours I think. You might like to try some of what appears below if you haven't already tried it. Otherwise, I don't know what you can do. I got cups-1.1.14 to work by compiling from source. I've compiled it from source in several earlier versions and compiled just about every version of gimp-print going (including my own customised version), which means I don't have a standard setup so I can blame myself if things go wrong. If things are going wrong for you you might want to contact feedback@suse.de. JDL ==Extract from changes.log== 25-02-02 Now install cups-1.1.14 from SuSE update... (just because it's there) ... Printer has disappeared: System > Tools > CUPS Administration Tools (KUPS) reveals there is no printer installed. Try to install one, but USB ports missing and printer not detected... I think I've seen this kind of thing before ... reboot with printer switched on and try again (in case it's got something to do with what isr called plug'n'play but is really hotplugging)...
