This is (possibly) not a bug in okular. I can't reproduce it at home, but I 
used to see this behavior in $job. It seems that okular "hangs" while looking 
for a printer, normally not a local one but a shared one.

Have you tried opening the pdf with your network disabled?

I don't know of a solution though :-/
