I'd sugguest to download the source and compile it.

If the printer stuff is compiled into the kernel or as a module,
there should't be any problems. If you wan't modulize printer
support, select the following in the kernel configuration:
General setup --->
<M> Parallel port support
<M> PC-style hardware
Character devices --->
<M> Parallel printer support
And add
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7
to /etc/conf.modules (of course you have to use the io and irq
of your parallel port). Also make sure that you have kmod
support in your kernel:
Loadable module support --->
[*] Enable loadable module support
[*] Kernel module loader
And when configuring your printer with YaST, keep in mind that
kernel 2.2.x uses /dev/lp0 instead of /dev/lp1.
Ciao,
Stefan
