ERROR_PRINTQ_FULL
This code belongs to the queue-management side of printing. A print server accepts jobs into a scheduler before a port monitor or physical device can consume them, so queue admission can fail even when the printer itself is online.
Do not treat this as a paper, toner, or cable error. The useful evidence is on the system that owns the queue: how many jobs are pending, whether large jobs are stalled, and whether the server is still accepting new jobs. Samba and CUPS expose the same architectural distinction between the submitted job queue and the backend that eventually sends data to a device.
What to compare
- Enumerate jobs on the affected queue and record job count, size, state, and owner.
- Check whether one blocked backend is allowing queued work to accumulate faster than it can drain.
- Compare a new job on another queue hosted by the same print server; this separates a queue-specific condition from broader spooler pressure.
- Preserve the original error from the submission API instead of replacing it with a later printer-status value.
