Why each option
If a camera cannot find a Bluetooth PAN printer to pair with, the most likely cause is that Bluetooth is turned off on the printer, making it invisible to other devices.
The camera's Bluetooth discoverability affects whether other devices can find the camera, not whether the camera can discover the printer.
Ink levels affect print quality and whether a job completes, but do not prevent Bluetooth discovery or pairing.
Bluetooth pairing requires both devices to have Bluetooth enabled and active. If the printer's Bluetooth radio is turned off, it will not broadcast any signal and no other device, including the camera, can discover or pair with it. This is the most direct and common reason a device reports 'no printer paired.'
Bluetooth is a standard protocol - cameras connect to printers via Bluetooth without needing printer-specific drivers installed on the camera.
