go to Menu -> System -> Yast -> Software Management

Select in there patterns and select the KDE3 pattern, install it, logout, choose KDE3 in the menu, login back again

Hi Patrick. The openprinting database does not look very promising: OpenPrinting database - Printer: Canon iP1500. Maybe you’re lucky with the proprietary driver: Canon Print Filter for Linux. Good luck!
