roblem solved. after reading several bug reports about avahi. I went into 
YaST and Software Management --> avahi and installed all rpms that said 
avahi. Then went into cups. did add printer and this time the printer 
showed. It then printed test page and I printed a document that would not 
print again.

Not sure which rpm actually fixed it, must have been a file that the ext3 
error corrupted and even though the repair function on the DVD said they 
were successfully repaired, something must have remained bad.
