Print jobs suddenly on hold iPad Pro 6th generation

Suddenly print jobs are put on hold. I print emails from an ipad pro 6th generation to a brother printer Brother DCP-J562DW via airprint. Connection via hotspot on Android phone, 4G in the Netherlands. Five print jobs were executed without problems. After a short break of about half an hour, the described problem occurs without anything being changed in the settings. I have searched for hours for options to solve this. Nothing found. Is there anyone here who recognizes this and knows how to solve it?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 17

Check to see if a firmware update is available for your printer from the printer manufacturer's support resources. If available, install the update.


Try a forced-restart of your iPad - as this will often clear an isolated software issue:


Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)

If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:

  1. Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
  2. Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
  3. Press and hold the top button.
  4. When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.




Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)

Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.




If the problem persists after performing the restart, it may be necessary to reset your iPad settings. While this reset will not cause any loss of data, as a precaution, it is always wise to ensure that you have a current iCloud or iTunes backup before performing the reset:

When you are happy to proceed, you can perform the reset from iPad settings:

Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPad > Reset > Reset All Settings


If the problem still doesn’t clear, the next step is to reset the iPad to factory settings:

Otherwise, you would be best advised to seek assistance directly from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page. Alternatively and perhaps easier, you can initiate and manage your support cases using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed on your iPad, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:
