That's because if you don't run YaST there won't be a printer filter to go with
the new printcap entry. If you really don't want to run YaST you can just run
instead./var/lib/apsfilter/apsfilter.setup instead. But if you change the
definition of the printer (including the resolution) then you must do one of these
two.
