    Have tried all that Muffy has suggested and printer works with Windows 7 and Windows XP machine but not with Windows 10 same problem as my original post.

    Any further suggestions?

    Ok, check through these options.
    Why isnt Windows finding my Bluetooth or other wireless device? - Windows Help


    Also check through the Bluetooth settings on the printer and if all else fails i would try a fresh install of the printer drivers.

    Windows 10 is finding bluetooth devices.

    As originally stated problem occurs when I come to pair device with laptop and after some time get the error message show in previous post.

    In addition to the suggestion offered by Muffy to download latest printer drivers. I see Toshiba last LAN driver for the Atheros chip is from 2014. Are you using their latest driver? If so, and problem is still evident, then you may want to try downloading direct from Atheros the latest driver for your chip (if available). I am of course assuming that you have confirmed all applicable settings for both printer software and atheros software are correctly configured for your hardware device and printer.

    @WhyMe

    I do not understand why you are suggesting I update my Wireless Lan driver which is working when problem is with bluetooth.

    Please explain.

    Thank you.

    'Cos when I check the Toshiba LAN driver details it also refers to bluetooth so I assumed it all comes from the same card. I just looked again and there is a link from the LAN driver details page that takes you to additional drivers for bluetooth available from Toshiba (but for old OS). I'm just thinking maybe Atheros have something newer that is compatible with your chip (again assuming I have identified correct hardware AND that you are using Atheros chip for bluetooth connectivity)
