Micros 3700 - intermittent failure to print

Hello,

I'm working on deploying a digital table ordering system (QR codes), and it has been successful on over 60 of our locations and ~20 different servers but we have one that just doesn't seem to be working. Every single item was tested in early October and every item printed successfully to their assigned printers. We took them live a few weeks later and started encountering intermittent printing failure, the guest would order an item and it wouldn't print, but it would be in the POS as a check. The same item would be ordered a few minutes later and it would print successfully. This wasn't limited to just one printer, it was both the bar and kitchen that would not print sometimes

Here are a few more details:
1. The integration goes through Transaction Services and uses an API employee to function
2. It is a direct integration from web app to Micros done by Eigen (xDine)
3. RES 5.5 MR 7
4. All printers were just replaced a few months ago from IDN to IP, Epson TM-U220B printer using the UB-E03
5. The database was just rebuilt last month, but the issues were already present before this
6. Server is rebooted every other night
7. All checks run in by actual waitstaff (i.e. not through the API Workstation) print every single time without fail
8. We've tried another location on the server and it also had the same random printing issues at the same time that this location encounters them

Here are a few lines from the 3700d log for an order that failed to print.

Here is the check being created:
