Are there any other appliances sharing the circuit?

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.

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?
