Q: Canon Pixma mg3220 wireless scanning with MBP 10.11.6
Suddenly, from one day to the next, the wireless scanning function no longer works between my MBP (OS 10.11.6) and the Canon Pixma MG3220 printer/scanner. I downloaded the most up to date Canon driver, but that eliminates option to use Image Capture.
What to do to restore wireless function? Is it workable to uninstall this latest driver and reinstall the Mini Master driver from Canon, good through OS 10.8?
MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), iPad mini WiFi, 9.3, iPhone 9.3

I reinstalled all the printer and scanner drivers and double-checked the wi-fi connection info and codes, which was the same as before the dysfunction occurred. Again, the scanner worked with USB connection, but when trying wi-fi the error messages below came arrived. But there were no obstructions between the router and the scanner and no security software or firewalls interfering with the wireless connection.
Then I remembered that, between one day using the scanner and the next, internet service with Charter disappeared. Wi-fi connections on my laptop and other devices resumed once Charter service was up again, but apparently that outage affected the router's connection with the printer-scanner. Once I unplugged the modem and router and replugged them after a few minutes, the scanner started working on wi-fi again.
I thought the notes coming with the driver updates from Canon said Image Capture would no longer work, but in fact it does work as an interface with the scanner.
