hi Nick

wine can use USB printers, but it's not done the way you tried. What you need 
to do is configure cups (the default linux printer daemon, SuSE probably has 
a printer setup tool in some system control panel thing) so it knows your 
printer. As soon as linux knows your printer, wine should aswell
