What causes this issue?

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

System Response

As soon as a print request is created, the client starts processing the
next print request body. This allows the client to continue processing
the subsequent print request bodies more quickly, irrespective of
whether the previous print request body was created successfully. This
means that the status of the print request bodies does not affect how
they are processed.
