Yes, I could configure printers via the cups web based UI, but now I loose the integration. Following this train of thought to it's logical conclusion leads to running 20 different tools for every configuration task, that sucks ! One of the strengths of YaST is the integration it provides.
What do you what to "configure"? I print every day and I have never configured anything.
Retry it with reinstalling you machine while the printer is disconnected or
powered off. Or retry it within a LAN where you do not have any CUPS server
offering printers.
I doubt that there are many users out there willing to maintain their own CUPS
server in order not to have to use a YaST printer module.
I am very glad to have the printer configuration module as I do not want to
configure CUPS manually.
Ciao,
