STATUS_NO_SPOOL_SPACE
The print server lacks storage for the spool file
A spooled job is first written to server storage before or while it is sent to the printer. This error means the server cannot allocate the required spool data, commonly because the spool volume is full, a quota is reached, the spool directory is unavailable, or the service account cannot create or extend files there.
Measure free space and quotas on the actual spool path, not only the system drive. Large EMF, XPS, or RAW jobs can require substantial temporary space. Deleting arbitrary spool files while the service is running can corrupt queue state; use supported cancellation or stop the spooler before controlled cleanup.
What to inspect
- Record the spool directory, free space, quota, job size, and service-account access.
- Inspect retained and abandoned spool files after stopping submissions.
- Restore storage capacity before resending large documents.
