Ehh, have you tried waiting around on it for a minute?
It could be loading. KDE is a seriously huge bloated thing, it is.

My guess would be that its scanning for printers when selecting it. If you have none or it can't find any, that's what's causing it to hang.

If you have a printer, configure it by other means, don't depend on the GUI control panel would be my suggestion.

you can configure your printer from a web browser, just run http://localhost:631

Configure it using cups.
