When I select Print from the File menu of Pages, all I get is the colorful beachball. I have tested Microsoft Word and TextEdit and neither has problems printing. Why is Pages hanging when I try to print? I have run disk permissions, restarted, emptied iWork and Pages caches... any ideas? Thanks...
 
This is quite a stumper. If I were faced with this problem, I'd check the page setup first to make sure it was setting up for your printer (a long shot). Can you use export? If so at least you'd have a work-around by exporting to PDF.
 
I've had this problem before, where Pages crashes when I try to print.

If you've made any footnotes, make sure all the numbers actually point to something. If they don't, Pages will hang when it tries to print.
