To find the printer troubleshooter you would look for troubleshooting in the windows control panel. Or depending on your version of windows you can also get there from windows settings-bluetooth and devices-printers and scanners and look for toubleshooting. The troubleshooting program will walk you through the process of resolving the issue.
