    Printer shows up in "other devices" but is not found when scanning for nearby printers


    Hello,I am using Windows 11 and trying to connect to a local printer from my institution.It shows up in the Bluetooth settings in the "Other devices" sections, but is not found when I go into "printers & scanners" and click on "Add printer or scanner". Clicking on "add a new device manually" and selecting the "add a Bluetooth or wireless printer" option, or the "add a local or network printer with manual parameters" does not work either.This is frustrating as the printer is right here with its correct name in "other devices", so my laptop is able to find it, but it apparently just refuses
