I'm sorry, I had it backward. it seems to hang ONLY when the PC is plugged in. The PC is running Kubuntu 12.04 OS. So far I have only had it connected by USB. I will test it on wireless rather than USB. I will also do the reset.<br />
<br />
@nobus: Let's try a few thing before I give up on it.

The OS on my HP6500Plus printer hangs every few hours, requiring printer restart.

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.

Printers and Scanners

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.
