I'm a bit confused, seems a long thread in two lists :-?
The problem is printing a particular web page from your bank, or any type of print?
My saga started in http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2016-01/msg00071.html which turned out to be a problem with a particular banking page not printing in any browser except Firefox 10 and Konq3. When I wanted to try printing from another machine as a troubleshooting step, specifically to try latest Konq, I encountered the trouble getting a driver installed and printing anything at all, so wrote http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2016-01/msg00099.html . When useful help seemed not to be forthcoming I decided it was OT for Factory and brought it here in http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2016-01/msg00172.html
If it is the former, web pages switch the style, or whatever it is called, for print. In effect, what is printed is a completely different

page from the one you view, and it has to be designed properly. Thus it would be your bank fault.
I'm still waiting on follow-up to my follow-up from the bank about the particular problem page disappearing into the ether while other pages print as expected.
A different browser might help.
Many browsers and profiles were tried to print the bank page, though all Gecko or KHTML. I install WebKit or Blink browsers only occasionally on test installations due to their feature absences and austere UIs. There remains the problem now that driver installation fails on every TW attempt. The printer creation process seems to complete, but nothing ever lights up the printer or causes it to print anything. The Brother driver pages are confusing. I've given up trying to install the Brother driver via Cups or YaST2. Yesterday using Brother's driver installation script I succeeded to get it to install on every non-TW (42.1, 13.2, 13.1, Fedora, Mageia) installation attempt except one 42.1 and one Kubuntu. It's looking like I'm either going to be filing a TW bug about this repeatable obstacle, or dropping the issue until it fails someplace it needs to not fail. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
