Where is Printer Utility located on Mac OS Monterey?

My printer has decided to stop working and I'm trying to run some diagnostics on it. It's giving me this message "Refer Printer Utility for detailed printer status and trouble shooting guides.(Utility, Printer Setup>Utility>Open Printer Utility)" But I can't find it anywhere.


Any ideas?

Look in System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > (select printer) > Open Print Queue > Settings (or Options & Supplies). The printer utility is usually one of the options in those settings.


Some printers also install a printer utility app in Applications. (In my experience few printers do that, but you could look there also.)


Also, some printers have diagnostics that you can invoke directly from the panel on the printer. Check the manual for your printer.
