just make a new character device which will be called /dev/lp0. I think this
is low risk and easy to undo if it doesn't work:
#mknod /dev/lp0 c 6 0
#chown root.lp /dev/lp0
#chmod 660 /dev/lp0 (myself I start with 777 then back off to 660)
then check to see if it's working with these low-level commands:
# touch test.txt
# echo "Hello World" > test.txt
# cat test.txt > /dev/lp0
then if that prints "Hello World" on a piece of paper, you're good, and can
proceed to set up CUPS or what have you. you shouldn't need to mess with
partport modules, because suse puts all that basic stuff in the kernel.
