Solved the problem myself after contacting Apple support and they couldn't figure out. I went to system preferences and opened it, then in the search field I typed printers & printers & Scanners popped up I selected it and my printer window opened. I selected back arrow that took me to system preferences and Printers & Scanners was still highlighted in the search box. I then selected View in the bar and selected Customize from the menu and lo and behold the Printers & Scanners icon was in my System Preferences folder! I selected the icon and a checkmark appeared then I clicked on Done and the folder stuck. So I now have my folder back! no more Shutting Down & reloading Catalina, which didn't help. Hope this helps anyone who experiences this.
