I too couldn't get my printer (Canon BJC-250) to work with the kernel
2.2.x series even after making sure I was using lp0 (instead of lp1 as
in the old kernel). Someone else mentioned on this list that they
uninstalled apsfilter and the ghostview stuff via YaST, re-installed
these packages and then everything worked. Sure enough after I did this
and re-installed my printer via YaST I now have a working printer.
I don't know if this will help you, but after I had tried everything I
could think of, this is what finally did the trick.
Good luck,
