I did not install any special fonts. The font setting in KWord is Helvetica. 
How do I get more precise info, or is it enough for you?

No, only text.

The first print from KGhostView did work flawlessly, but nothing happened 
afterwards. Neither printing the same doc from KGhostView again nor printing 
from another app worked. I stopped and restarted the cups service, but that 
did not help neither.
In this state, nothing happened if I printed from any program. Rebooting the 
PC (Win95, btw) enabled printing again. First printing from KWord gave the 
already known results, and printing afterwards from KGhostView worked, but 
afterwards nothing happened anymore, again.

rpm -qa | grep -i cups delivered the following:

cups-libs-1.1.12-69
yast2-agent-cups-2.5.6-31
qtcups-2.0-319
cups-client-1.1.12-69
yast2-config-cups-2.5.16-7
yast2-trans-cups-2.5.14-8
cups-1.1.12-69
cups-drivers-1.1.10-78


Should be everything from a SuSe 8.0 installation.

I use Foomatic (what is that ?) drivers. Kups says the following:
HP DeskJet 400, Foomatic + hpdj


If I look into the cups error_log I see the following for every job I 
submitted:

I [03/Jun/2002:17:47:33 -0200] Job 22 queued on 'AngiesPrinter' by 'raimund'.
I [03/Jun/2002:17:47:33 -0200] Started filter /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstops (PID 
3872) for job 22.
I [03/Jun/2002:17:47:33 -0200] Started filter /usr/lib/cups/filter/cupsomatic 
(PID 3873) for job 22.
I [03/Jun/2002:17:47:33 -0200] Started backend /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb (PID 
3874) for job 22.

So it seems, that the jobs are queued somewhere, but nothing happens. So, 
there are at least two problems
