The Jobs page
print.nowaitn.com/jobs is the single source of truth for every print from every app. Each job row shows source app, template, printer, status, and creation time. Clicking a row opens the detail page with the full payload, rendered output, and error (if any).
Job statuses
- queued — accepted by the Printing service; waiting to render. Normal for a few hundred milliseconds at most.
- rendering — the HTML template is being converted to PDF. Should clear in under a second.
- sending — the PDF is being handed off to the transport (PrintNode, relay, etc.). Time here depends on the transport.
- sent — the transport confirmed delivery. For PrintNode this means the cloud service accepted the job; the physical printer may still be spooling.
- failed — something went wrong. The Error field on the job detail page has the reason.
Common failures
"View not found: ..."
The template referenced by the job doesn't have a blade file yet. Known cases today: reservations.confirmation and crm.profile_card. Use a different template (e.g. test or queue.chit) until those templates ship.
"Simulator transport is disabled"
You tried to use a simulator printer on an environment where PRINT_SIMULATOR_ENABLED is false (typically production). Switch to a real transport or move the test to staging.
PrintNode: "no printer with id X"
The PrintNode printer ID saved on the NOWAITN printer no longer exists on the PrintNode side — usually because the PrintNode agent was uninstalled, the device renamed, or the account was rotated. Go to Printers, delete the NOWAITN printer row, and re-add it so the current PrintNode device list can be picked from.
PrintNode: timeout / connection refused
The PrintNode agent on the site machine isn't running or the machine is offline. Check the machine; restart the PrintNode agent.
Reprinting
Any job — regardless of status — can be reprinted from the job detail page. Reprint creates a new job with a fresh transport job ID; the original row is preserved for history. Reprints are also a useful smoke test after fixing a transport problem.
Downloading the rendered output
If the job has a persisted artifact (all simulator jobs do), Preview HTML and Download PDF links appear on the detail page. Useful for confirming the job rendered correctly even if the transport step failed.
