Has UA blocked reprinting boarding pass function at kiosk? Other than using mobile check-in, everything I did have done today is just as usual.
IME, this happens if:
  • Kiosk is out of paper (most likely)
  • Flight is under gate control.
I just printed a bunch last week, and it took the 3rd kiosk to actually have the paper.
