PWC3548: Unable to process print job due to timeout - c06406191

Using the steps below the administrator for the PrinterOn Enterprise solution is able to identify and resolve the problems that generate the error message: PWC3548: Unable to process print job due to timeout

Summary

• Verify what the Server Address value is on the printer giving the error
• Modify Printer Configuration to point to correct PDH Server Address
• Verify PDH address is defined correctly and service is started

Event Definition

If the Printer has not been updated to deliver jobs to the PDH address, it will attempt to deliver jobs to 127.0.0.1:631, but there is nothing available or listening on that port. This error will also be shown when the PDH address has been defined incorrectly (check for typos!), or the PDH service is unavailable (check if the PDH service is started & load balancer is in active state). The result is a PWC3548: Unable to process print job due to timeout. error.
