What version of system-config-printer do you have installed on your openSUSE 13.2 setup?

1.4.5-2.7.1 from openSUSE updates.

Actually, come to think of it: python-cups is more likely the issue for this. You would need something like 1.9.72 for cups 2.0

Try to grab that one from devel:languages:python repository

Hmm, thanks for the tip. It still doesn't work. Here's the output with python-cups 1.9.72:

I'm considering to prepare an update for system-config-printer to version 1.4.7... 

Please give me an hour or so.

Thanks a ton Dominique.

Strange.. I was sure I asked people to test the packages in the repository
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/dimstar:/boo921996/openSUSE_13.2_Update/

but there is no trace of this in bugzilla... so please accept my apologies for the delay; that repo has been out since March 12 though.

Can anybody please test the packages in this repository and confirm if this solves the issues seen?

Hi Dominique, thanks for looking into this. I just now tried your repo, but unfortunately this issue remains. When run with gnomesu from a terminal, this is the output when I try to modify the properties of a printer:

I confirmed that I am using system-config-printer 1.4.7 from your repo, together with all its dependencies. (I did a "switch system packages to the version in this repo.)

This version of openSUSE changed to end-of-life (EOL [1]) status. As such
it is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any
further security or bug fix updates.
As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
openSUSE, or consider the bug still valid, please feel free to reopen this
bug against that version, or open a new ticket.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed
during the lifetime of the release.
