I can think of a couple of things to try here, depending on
how you do things.
1. When you run kprinter, make sure that the pull down list
about 75% down in the kprinter window that is labeled
"Print system currently used:" is set to CUPS.
2. From the application you are running, when you click on
file-print, try entering kprinter, rather than the lpr or lp
command. When the kprinter dialogue appears, check as in 1.
above.
Let me know what happens.
