Perhaps IPP port 631 for UDP is also needed, see

"The Spooler"

In the YaST firewall module there are predefined "services"
for IPP (and also for Samba if you use Samba) so that it
should be easiest to use the YaST firewall module.


By the way:

I wonder why a firewall is active for a network zone
in which services should be used which require trusted
users (nobody lets arbitraty users print on his printer).

By default the Suse firewall allows any access via a network
interface which belongs to the "internal zone" because this
zone is trusted by default.

If the CUPS server and the client systems are in an internal
network and when you trust all what there is in your internal
network, your network interface must be set to be in the
"internal zone".

It doesn't make sense to have a network setup in a trusted
internal network with a network interface which belongs to the
untrusted "external zone" (which is the default to be safe).
