Are you sure that your Bluetooth services are turned on! Just in case click on 'restart the service' on both (or more) Bluetooth services.
What do you get if you type 'print management' in the search box and click on run as administrator?

As expected, Device Manager does not show your printer. What is shown is the scanner portion of your "All in One" device.
If I understand you correctly, when you click Start > Devices and Printers, you see the following (what's confusing is your statement that "it searches non stop" -- there's no search going on, the window is just blank):
There is no "print button" in Notepad:
Nevertheless, if you can print from Notepad or Microsoft Word or from a "photo program," then there is no problem with your printer. If you can't print "emails or web content," then the problem is with your web browser.
Although a blank Devices and Printers window is usually caused by the Print Spooler service not running, there are a couple of other things to try. See this, particularly steps 2 and 3 (but you might as well also check the Bluetooth service) --> http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/fix-devices-and-printers-completely-empty-windows-7/
The solutions discussed in steps 2 and 3 are related to Internet Explorer, which is consistent with your observation that you have issues with your browser -- I assume that you are using Internet Explorer both to access your email and for browsing the web.
