Determine the status of the printer, printer queue and ensure that 
the queue is set to release jobs.

If the file system is out of disk space, perform the following:

Open a terminal window and enter 

df -k

• to determine which partition is full.

If the /var/spool/XRXnps/outQ partition is full, go to the 
DocuSP GUI.  Open [Preferences] and then [Job Policy].  Set 
the system to small partitions or large partitions to avoid 
saturating the outQ.

If the /opt partition is full, delete unnecessary files and 
compress and move any core files that are in the /opt/
XRXnps/corefiles directory.

If the /var/spool partition is full, determine the size of the /var/
spool/XRXnps/inQ directory.    If a job is larger than half the 
size of the directory, delete the job and restart the Xerox 
software.

If the job is small, store it on a server and resubmit the job 
from the client.

Delete any faulted, ineligible, or held jobs that are no longer 
needed.  Also, delete any completed jobs in the /opt/XRXnps/
log/errorLogs directory.

If any other partition is full, free space on the partition by 
deleting any unnecessary files.

If only one job is in the printer queue, cancel the job and 
resubmit as smaller files.

If the job is in PostScript, ASCII, or TIFF format and the job 
status is “processing”, perform the following:

1. Hold the job.

2. Resubmit the job to a draft PostScript printer to determine if 

the master is corrupted.  If the job prints without problems, 
contact the Customer Support Center.

NOTE:  If a job that is known to be without faults has been 
submitted and will not print, shut down and restart the DocuSP 
software.

If an active job has a status of “printing” or “waiting for the 
printer” and will not print and there are no faults or messages 
displayed, perform the following:
