It is hard to guess what it might be without any file to look at.

If you use Linux 2.6, we had already a report of a crash while printing, but 
it was always, so it is perhaps not your case.

Also there are the known Achilles' heels of KWord. Does your document has a 
table, especially a complex one or one that is more than one page long?

Can you print to a file? If yes, to PDF too?

If you mean a save-at-crash like in AbiWord, no, KWord cannot do that. We have 
not any memory-saving save function for KWord, so it is not something that 
can be done currently. (During a crash, you cannot handle big bunches of 
memory, as it would lead to follow-up problems.)

So you have to go to the last saved version. (At restart KWord will propose 
you to load the last automatically saved document.)
