I had this happen during the summer...it seemed to be caused by my portable A/C unit kicking on and off...turned out it was on the same circuit as the printer. I switched it over to another outlet and that seemed to fix it.

Are there any other appliances sharing the circuit?

The only time mine has frozen was when the computer went to sleep (I didn't touch the computer for 10 minutes). I downloaded the app "caffeine" which keeps my mac from going to sleep and it has worked perfectly since. So, it may be the connection or computer and not the printer.

Sounds more like a loose connection somewhere creating interference. Could be at the PSU side of things.

Once or twice but mine could be fixed by touching the on off button which is also the pause button in soliprint.

Your right! If I press the button after it freezes it makes the green light flash. If I press it again after that it continues. Except mine is freezing almost every job. I wonder what is the problem?
