Was it working before, say under Windows? If so and you still have access to a Win box you could try capturing port data and see if that reveals anything. You could probably use something like ethereal or I think the tool is called portmon (sysinternals I think), but it might just be for serial ports. Also, check to make sure that you have the right ports open in your Suse configuration to allow the print traffic through. I don't know exactly what things to point you towards as I have no direct experience with this. I did try and do something similar with a 3Com device before but gave up with out resolving the issue. Good Luck! Oh..you could try searching for some How_tos off the web.
