Print job from iPad to HP printer hung up. Wheel spinning but job not printing.

Something happened to my print function from my iPad to my HP printer. Both are connected to the same network and have been rebooted, but every time I try printing, a wheel on both devices just keeps spinning. The print job on my printer says “printing” below the spinning wheel, and the Print Center on my iPad says the same thing: “printing page 1 of 1”, with a spinning wheel off to the right, but nothing prints. What’s going on?

iPad, iPadOS 16

Thanks for your attempts to help. My problem turned out to be a sudden lack of ink. I purchased non HP replacement cartridges from Amazon awhile back and had problems with them being accepted by HPs firmware. A new set eventually worked until yesterday when they didn’t. After spending a lot of time on diagnostics and trying to print from my mobile devices, I tried simply copying an already printed document. That didn’t work either and I noticed the ink cartridges all appeared to be empty. I didn’t get any low ink warnings and I find it a little suspicious that they all depleted at the exact same time, but I went to the store and bought official HP replacement ink and everything is working again.
