Interesting. I am running KDE 3.5.5 with OOo 2.0.2 and all is working fine.

Have you reloaded X, or rebooted since your upgrade to 3.5.5? This may be 
necessary to stop all the old versions of programs, and start the new ones. I 
have now started doing this when I upload a new version of KDE, as it is now 
getting so complex that it may not run right until everything new is running 
properly together.

Otherwise, have you checked in the KDE Control Panel for the printer settings 
and made sure that it was working properly.

This is all just a stab in the dark. Maybe you could let us in on the nature 
of the error more. It sounds like an OOo error, but maybe it is CUPS?
