Without more information, it's hard to tell.
Check permissions on your /tmp directory. This should be:
drwxrwxrwt 5 root root 4096 Sep 14 09:57 /tmp
Try launching apps from a shell and looking at error output, or running
them with 'strace':
$ strace konsole

I'd recommend CUPS. It tends to be quite easy to configure through the
web-based interface. Check your system error logs, post more
information, or check out IRC support at irc://irc.debian.org/#debian
Peace.
