Try this then

* Open Yast-hardware-printer and start configuring your printer.
* In printer configuration, highlight your printer, click edit
* In configuration, highlight your printer model, click edit
* click Add PPD File to database-click local ppd file and browse to
/usr/share/cups/model and select the appropriate model and your
finish.
