I'm using the latest version of Pages (5.1) on a white MacBook, (unsure of it's official name) with a wireless printer. Every time I try to print a document, (I've tried with multiple) Pages goes unresponsive and refuses to print. I've been able to print my documents from other computers and phone, so it's nothing on the printer's end.
OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
TG,
When this happens, go to the Dock and click on the Printer icon. In the window that pops up, look for an error message. It may tell you what the problem is. With my printer it may be as simple as a low ink warning.

I would, but it doesn't get that far. I don't even see the little drop down menu thingy. As soon as I click the "Print" button, it freezes.
TG,
When crazy things happen, a good thing to try is to close your documents, Quit your apps and Restart your computer. Often things come back in better shape.
Jerry
I've tried that, to no avail. 😢
Thank you for your help, though!!!
After trying that, you can Delete the app in LaunchPad (click and hold until the icons jiggle, and click on the "X" in the one you want to delete) and Reinstall in Mac App Store, Purchases.
Jerry
It still doesn't print. Thank you, thank you for continuing to trouble shoot, though!
Does any other document print?
What happens if you print to PDF?
Jerry
If by "print to PDF" you mean printing a PDF file, it works perfectly.
I have this same issue. Everytime I try to print from Pages, no matter what document, cloud stored, or local, it crashes. I can export ot PDF and print it via Preview just fine. The issue is definitely pages.
I opened up console to see what it was saying when I tried to print, and this is what it says (so many messages per second that it give the error about only logging 500 of the same message per second, I only put 2 of them here so you can see what it says)

| 2/27/14 5:43:55.000 PM | kernel[0] | Sandbox: Pages(23374) deny network-inbound *:64024 |
any clue what that means? Anyoen from Apple able to help? I've trying googling it, but nothing seems to come up...
TG,
In the lower left corner of the Print Dialog window is a button labeled "PDF". You can use that control to make a PDF of your document. Since you can print PDFs in Preview, you could print your converted documents that way.

"We would like to know if you would be able to provide the following:
- is iCloud file sync On for Pages
- a copy of a document that makes Pages unresponsive when printed
suggest logging in as guest or a new account and printing the document."
Logging in as a different user didn't work. I'm using OSX Mavericks 10.9.2, with Pages 5.1. The printer isn't actually mine, so I'm unsure of what model it is. Sorry! As for a copy of a document, it's any document I try to print, not just specific ones.

So, it's not a Pages problem, but rather a Printer/OSX problem.

First test, try it somewhere else, see if it is just what you simply happen to be looking at!
Not sure if all of this is rocket science, but I have a sneaking suspicion, Not!

Every time I try to print a document, Pages goes unresponsive.
