[SLE] lpq/lpstat segfault - cups problem - SuSE V9.2

Hi Folks,

I am having an awful problem with cups. Restarting the system after
a controlled shutdown, the printers are not working anymore on a
SuSE V9.2 system.

I removed cups server and client using YaST, the removal was
successful
basilisk:~ # lpq
-bash: lpq: command not found
basilisk:~ # lpstat
-bash: lpstat: command not found
as I expected.

Installing cups using YaST, I tried two methods:
1. Hardware -> printers, this tells me no printing system installed,
select the cups installation type, where I check cups full server
installation. This actually installs cups, (reading package
information etc), then enters SuSEconfig, then goes into printer
configuration, where YaST crashes in 'load current settings'.
2. Installing cups server manually via install software menu. This
succeeds, step two is then again Hardware -> printers where YaST
crashes in the 'load current settings' step too.

running lpq or lpstat results in:
basilisk:~ # lpq
Segmentation fault
basilisk:~ # lpstat
Segmentation fault

How do I fix this? What caused it?

Thanks

Peter
