from the command line, 'lp' and 'lpr' should both send print ocmmands
to CUPS. If you have more than one printer, use
lpr -P printername filename
(I think)
For OpenOffice, run the 'spadmin' script which is to be found in the
install directory. This opens up a dialog box in which you cna
configure and add printers. It's pretty straightforward, assuming lp
and lpr are working: you just add the commands you find
work for you from the ocmmand line.
For KWord, I think you use the KPrinter dialog in the KDE Control
Center (I run 3.1, and in that version you find it under
Peripherals/Printers). However, i don't use many kfde-specific
features, and I don't remember that bit very well.
g'luck,
