First, make sure something didn't happen to your connection to the network. Does it show on the network, or can you see it from your computers? If not, check your cables.
If you can see it, try shutting down the machine and restarting the RIP and the 242. (I'm assuming you have the bundled RIP).
If that doesn't cure it, might be time to call service.
It's been a while since I had a 240 series Xerox and I don't remember how big my spool files were anymore. 2.5 GB sounds huge, I could see why the RIP could take a long time to process them.
If this is a common size of your files, you could approach Xerox about an upgrade to the memory of the EFI RIP, that would help move things along.
