Is Pages or Numbers hanging when you try to open an existing doc or create a new one?

Do you have any shady printer drivers installed?  Thats what happened with svn.  His solution? “It appears iWork hanged on my printer(s) configurated.
Also the pref. pane wouldnt open, that’s how I found the problem.

Deleted /etc/cups/printers.conf and the problem was solved.

I did have some shady windows printers installed..”
