Does the freeze also happen, if you start "kprinter" via the "[alt]+[f2]" shortcut?

Please post the content of the following commands:

  grep -i ServerName ~/.cupsrc
  grep -i ServerName ~/.cups/client.conf
  grep -i ServerName /etc/cups/client.conf

  cat $(kde-config --localprefix)/share/config/kdeprintrc
  cat $(kde-config --localprefix)/share/config/kprinterrc


Last, run this command from a konsole to get a log of which files your kprinter tries to open:

   strace -eopen kprinter | tee ~/kprinter.freeze.log

It will allow you to 

   a) watch the output inside the console and also see the last few lines before
      it freezes
   b) look at the file ~/kprinter.freeze.log later and search for a reason that
      may cause the freeze

Actually, how long have you waited for the longest time so far, before you decided it is a freeze that will last forever? Maybe it is just some timeout that is set to an insane level, somewhere? 

What you also could try: create a completely new user on your system, start KDE as that user, and see if the print system also freezes for that user....
