What causes this issue?

You are trying to print shop paper &V2& for maintenance order &V3& but
the print log is full.

System Response

When the system prints shop papers several times for the same
maintenance order, it determines a copy number individually for every
shop paper. The number ranges are the following:
?,,Normal print (if the maintenance order has a released status): 1-99
?,,Preprint (if you have not released the maintenance order yet):
100-199
?,,Reprint: 200-255
After the system has reached the last number of the range, it does not
save more print records.

How to fix this error?

Contact your system administrator.

Procedure for System Administrators

You need to create a Z report which deletes the entries from table PMPL
for the given maintenance order. If it is necessary, save the old print
records into a temporary table.

IW264 - Details

• The SAP error message IW264, which states "You cannot print shop paper & as the print log is full," typically occurs when the print log for a specific print request has reached its maximum capacity. This can prevent further print jobs from being processed until the log is cleared or managed.
  
  Cause:
  
  Print Log Capacity: Each print request generates a log entry, and if the log reaches its maximum size, no new entries can be added, leading to this error.
  System Configuration: The configuration settings for the print log may not be optimized, resulting in quicker filling of the log.
  High Volume of Print Jobs: If there are many print jobs being processed simultaneously, the log can fill up quickly.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Clear the Print Log:
  
  Go to the transaction code SP01 (Spool Request) in SAP.
  Check for the spool requests that are no longer needed and delete them to free up space in the print log.
