So I did, and I'll give the the details for the others who'd like to accomplish the same. Started yast2, the Suse configuration tool, and clicked on hardware. Subsequently I clicked printer, and this opens a new panel with one line showing among others Que name Model ..... ml1610 Samsung/Ml1610 so I edited the general command you displayed above into lpr -P ml1610 And likewise every SuSE-user can use the lpr command for his particular printer.
