Windows 10: Cannon printer no longer printing or scanning

I have a Cannon MG3200 series printer/scanner, which has worked with no problems until October 2020


On the 13th October, I printed out a bank statement & some other documents.


Since then, I have not been able to print anything!!!


When I try to print a document, it goes into the print queue, then I get the pop up box, which shows printer not responding & then says error!


I go into Device Manager, my printer is listed there as a default printer, with the green tick, I run the troubleshooter, it doesnt find any issues, it shows my printer to be on & waiting, BUT, as soon as I go to print, it then turns from "documents in queue" to show the status as error!


I have looked at printer properties & hardware. All the drivers are up to date. The printer itself is showing no errors & the blue connection light is on for the wifi!


Im at a loss what to do?


I dont understand how it can be working fine one day & nothing the next?

I am up to date with all the Windows updates & cant find any listed on my laptop, that I see many on the forums complaining about, otherwise I would uninstall the troublesome updates

Cannon printer

After buying a new computer with Windows 10 I cannot acces the scanner portion of my Cannon Pixma MG5420. I can print with the printer but CANNOT scan anything! The scanner is listed under installed scanners, but I have no way to scan anything. Cannot
bring it up to scan from the computer and when I select scan on the printer it acts like it's scanning but I don't think it is going to the computer because the scanned document in nowhere to be found. I am not about to a new printer/ scanner when this one
is perfectly good just because Windows 10 is a piece of crap and doesn't like anything that was directly installed from the Windows app store. HELP!

 

Cannon multi-function Imageclass MF4350d unit the printer works, but scanner doesn't

Although these steps fixed the problem, the fix didn't last. When I went to use the scanner a week or so later and after rebooting each day, the scanner would not connect. I get "Establishing a connection with WIA Cannon MF4320 - 4350", but it never connects.
I can't close the popup window or the Windows Fax and Scan program unless I open Task Manager and "End Task" for the Windows Fax and Scan application. I brought up Devices and Printers window. I right click on the Cannon device which is the default printer
and left click on properties. A Cannon properties window opens. It shows a Device Function box with 8 items listed as follows:
