When opening a document okular tries to get page sizes from cups; but if the printer configured is on an unreachable/unresolvable server, okular will hang for 10s of seconds every time you move between pages.

(Fedora RPM okular-15.04.2-2.fc23.x86_64)
Backtrace below.  I'd have some sympathy if this needs punting to one of the libraries or cups; but I'm not really sure who needs to deal with this better.   I've seen some applications on other platforms deal with this type of look up in the background.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure a printer on a remote host where the remote host is specified using '.local'; in my case print.local
2. Disconnect the printserver from the network as seen by your host
3. Check it isn't resolved;   ping print.local   - see that it takes ~5s to return an error
4. reboot host (just to be sure nothing is cached - not sure this stage is necessary)
5. Open a pdf in okular

Actual Results:  
1. Okular opens but you just see a grey background for ages (10s of seconds)
2. Every time you force a redraw it does the same thing again.

Expected Results:  
1. No hangs - maybe a small pause during startup, but again maybe try to do this in the background?
2. Certainly no big pauses as you move between pages, one pause waiting for the device on normal viewing should be enough.
