Issue With ME Network [Image Heavy]

Hey guys,

I'm trying to make an ME setup in creative mode that crafts ME Processors (Logic, Engineering, etc) from start to finish, but It's not working correctly. For some reason, the quartz dust isn't being turned into silicon, then pressed, then put into the export bus that requests it. I'm not sure why.

It looks like this:

The issue is that in order to complete the processor, printed silicon is needed. The export bus is supposed to be requesting it, but the system isn't crafting it. Despite the fact as as shown, recipes are provided for silicon and printed silicon, as well as ample supply of quartz dust in the system.

The export bus does have a crafting upgrade.

Anyone know what's going on?

I think I know what's wrong. The interface is inserting a circuit into the inscriber an expecting a finished product, but because there's no printed silicon in the inscriber, it can't finish. Since it can't finish, it's just sitting there rather than moving onto the next job, which is to make the f*cking printed silicon. However, if that's the case, shouldn't have like 8 co-processors fix that? Yet it doesn't. Really need help.

Simplified and fixed the design.
It appears that if a job is in waiting, an export bus can't request resources for another job, even if it's to make resources for the original job. I worked around this by requiring that both the silicon press and the circuit are produced in order to continue, then pumping them manually into the inscriber.
