Re:iP8720 

I recently purchased the iP8720.  I set it up today and am now attempting to connect it to my iPad.  I’ve spent the past few hours trying to troubleshoot, but I’m getting NOWHERE.  It either cant find the printer or it finds it, asks me about the network, and then gets stuck and the orange light of death comes on the printer.  I’m about ready to toss this thing out of the window.  Help!!!

Updated to say - I get to the part that says “Register Printer” “wait for your printer name to appear…” and that’s where I lose it every time.
