I have more information about the problem.

I just went to print a document, and now Windows says my printer has a
problem.

So, I tried going to the control panel, and nothing appears. Not even when
typing "Printers" in the search box in the top right.

When it did this before, I did a system restore and the problem was fixed
for a short time (Less than a week).
