I suggest that you look at the different logs in /var/log/cups/ to determine
what errors you are getting. You may have to increase the debug level
in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf to get more meaningfull error messages.
Please be carefull with the debug levels as you will end up with so many
messages that it is impossible to find out anything sensible.
If you are having problems printing from windows to cups, I suggest you look
at is the two mime files in /etc/cups. Enabling the application/octet-stream
in both files may solve your problem.

Regarding ppd files I would start by looking at
http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Kyocera-FS-3800
You should be able to find printer drivers from
http://usa.kyoceramita.com/KMAGlobalpub/jsp/Kyocera/download_center.jsp
You can generally use the ppd file associated with Windows NT 4 drivers with
cups.
The actual ppd's for cups are located in /usr/share/cups/model/Kyocera/ All
the ppd's are compressed but you can copy uncompressed ppd's into this
directory without any problems. You will then be able to use these ppd's with
Yast or any other installer.
