You need to handle changes of the related printer files, when you use Spool2XML.
Printer files are changed, if e.g. a new format has been added/removed or if new fields are added/removed. This can e.g. be caused by an upgrade of the ERP-solution, that you are using with Spool2XML.
If you do not handle this, the printer jobs will most likely stop with the error message, which is caused by a level check on the printer file:

A bit higher in the joblog you will probably see this error message:

The solution is to recreate the XML printer file, that is used by Spool2XML. The XML printer file is explained here.
The recommended procedure is described below:
1.First you should export the XML definition(s) for the printer file(s), that should be fixed. (You need to do that as the XML definitions are cleared (e.g. parent/child definitions) during the recreation of the printer file with the CVTPRTFXML command).
2.Stop printing for the related printer files as the next step will cause a problem for the print jobs: The print jobs will use the standard non-XML printer file while the XML printer files are deleted.
3.Now you should delete the related, converted printer files in the special override library, that previously has been created with the CVTPRTFXML command. You do that with the DLTF command e.g. DLTF FILE(KSE_HIGH/NG402PR). Do NOT delete the original, unconverted printer file.
4.Now recreate the printer files, that you have just deleted with the DLTF. You recreate the printer files with the command, CVTPRTFXML.
5.Now you can import the XML definitions, that you exported earlier.
6.Verify if the new printer files has changed so much, that you need to change the XML definitions. It can e.g. be a changed parent/child relationship or perhaps a changed fragment setting.
7.Now the changes are done and you can start printing as normally.
