If you go to "K-menu > Settings > Printers" you can check the setting in
the "Print system currently used" combobox. It should say "CUPS (Common
UNIX Print System)".
It looks like your CUPS is working. You could nevertheless check if you
can print a test page via the http://localhost:631/printers/ frontend of
CUPS. (I expect that you can, given that the cupsys-bsd-based lpr
works.)
Then I would switch to
LogLevel debug
in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, restart cupsys and try to print from kpdf
again. Hopefully something turns up in /var/log/cups/error_log. It would
also be interesting to know if other KDE applications, e.g. kate, have
the same printing problem. Also, as always, check ~/.xsession-errors
after the unsuccessful printing attempts.
