If the way to solve/handle this problem is using CUPS I'll do; my complain with CUPS was because I never can setup a [Texas?] Printronix (hammer) printer; I think CUPS doesn't handle raw printing well, but this happened some years ago and the things gets better. I don't know SuSE 9.0 uses CUPS as default printing system; this can easy a lot my job.

I want to use the default (LPR?) printing system on SuSE 9.0; I don't want to install CUPS. It's mandatory?
The default printing systen on SUSE LINUX 9.0 is CUPS. Only the CUPS library package is mandatory (see the Administration manual). There is a button in YaST (via [Change] and [Advanced]) to switch from CUPS to LPRng/lpdfilter and vice versa (see the Administration manual). Use this button. Don't do it manually - except you know exactly about the packages and the dependencies (see the Administration manual). To access a SMB printer share from LPRng/lpdfilter use YaST.
