I can't check out konqueror right now, but kmail prints fine.  One thing
you should realize is that 'lpr' is not a printer choice but a program
(one of the lpr - lpd - lpq series) that passes its output (using filter
definitions in printcap or cups, etc.) to the printer.  The default
printer is usually lp but this may be an alias for your actual printer
name.

Do you actually have a printer daemon started? (ps ax | grep lpd or ps ax
| grep cups etc.).  What messages are you getting in /var/log/messages (I
presume that's the location for SuSE too).
