Yes, Windows 11 has a built-in printer troubleshooter. Go to 'Settings' > 'System' > 'Troubleshoot' > 'Other troubleshooters'. Find 'Printer' and click 'Run'. The troubleshooter will automatically detect and attempt to fix common printer problems, including connection errors. Follow the on-screen instructions provided by the troubleshooter.
