So, maybe I'm just lucky to have access to good hardware then. All the corporate environments I've worked in during the past decade tend to have PS printers which are network attached, so that's no surprise, but even my home printers have just worked - again, maybe I'm just lucky that I buy hardware worthy of linux ;) Now, I can imagine a scenario where you've done a kernel upgrade via yast, perhaps unknowingly, and in order to print something the system must load a module, which is no longer on the disk since the old kernel and all its modules have been removed. That can and does cause odd problems of the sort described - but the answer there is to only upgrade the kernel on purpose, at a convenient time of your choosing.
