$jump = $this->byId('ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_Reprint');

Answer 1

You could use
$this->timeouts()->implicitWait(10000);//10 seconds
to set timeout of searching elements on page.

Answer 2

Resolved.i just changed
$jump->submit();
to
$this->byName('ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$Reprint')->click();

Answer 3

If you want to wait for diffrent elements or even capabilities i suggest use this pattern
This is example wait for element. I recommend using byCssSelector here to get more flexibility.
You can easily use this pattern for example to wait for element to be clickable:
protected function waitForClickable($element, $wait=30) {
for ($i=0; $i <= $wait; $i++) {
try{
$element->click();
return true;
}
catch (Exception $e) {
sleep(1);
}
}
return false;
}
You can even use it in any context passing anonymous function as parameter:
protected function waitForAny($function, $args, $wait=30) {
for ($i=0; $i <= $wait; $i++) {
try{
call_user_func_array($function, $args);
return true;
}
catch (Exception $e) {
sleep(1);
}
}
return false;
}
Usage:
$f = function($e){
$e->click();
};
$this->waitForAny($f, array($element));
