1) make sure KDEPrint uses CUPS as print system:
	KControl -> Peripherals -> Printers: combo box at the bottom

2) it happened that default CUPS config file under SuSE was quite
restrictive and prevented KDEPrint to work; the common workaround,
in case of a stand-alone setup with local CUPS server, is to
set ServerName to localhost in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file
