Hello, I use a power line adapter connected to a router downstairs to get internet access on my PC, as my primary router is upstairs to maximize Wi-Fi range to attempt to get some form of signal on the other side of my house. My printer is upstairs, connected to my primary router, and I was wondering if there was any way of printing documents from my PC, as my printer does not show up on the list.

Is the downstairs router setup as a Wireless Access Point (WAP)? If not, then the printer won't show up because it is on a different network. Setup the downstairs router as a WAP and any network device should show up.

Also, check that your network connection is not a public one on your PC as this will stop you seeing other network devices.
