To be precise: The problem occurs whenever there are at least two jobs in your print queue with identical job ids. This should normally not happen, but it apparently does sometimes.

When Plasma starts up, it loads various apps, including the one responsible for the printer status icon in the system tray. When that one is loaded, it goes through the jobs in the print queue and tries to gather information about them. When it does so and encounters two jobs with the same id, it crashes, taking Plasma with it. At least that is my theory so far.

Did you try 'cancel -a'? It would be interesting to know whether that fixes the problem.
