Everything works locally and remote printing via CUPS works fine as

you can scan over network
go to yast - hardware - scanner - more (right under),
choose "scan over network"

Brilliant! Working perfectly. Thanks

Just a stupid question here, but don't you still have to be by the
scanner to feed in the documents? I mean, what's the big advantage to
remote scanning vs scanning on a local computer to a networked computer
and just copying the documents?

Ever heard of scanners feeding themselves?
How about a HP6310 printer which prints, faxes and scans all via network? It
has a sheet feeder, you know. You put in all the sheets and then start
scanning. Works *way* better than the HP supplied windows software
