After updating the gnome-print package, on Suse you need to run their config 
tool SuSEconfig. If that doesn't help here (and it didn't help for me), then 
you have to manually call the following command as root:

$ /opt/gnome/bin/gnome-font-install -d --smart -a 
/opt/gnome/share/gnome-print/fonts/adobe-urw.font

Somehow Suse screwed up the placement of the *.font alias files, and their 
standard config script cannot find it... you might try any other of the 
*.font files in the abovementioned directory.
