"unable to get printer status"

Suddenly, I cannot print to my Canon MF414dw printer. Everything was working fine, but now I get the message quoted above. I installed the latest driver, but that did not help.

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.14

Resetting the printing system in Mac OS X...

1. To use the Reset Printing System feature in Mac OS X, follow these steps:

2. Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.

3. Choose Print & Fax from the View menu.

4. Control-click on list of printers on the left side of the window, then choose "Reset printing system" from the contextual menu. If you don't see a list of printers, Control-click on the text "Click + to add a printer or fax" and select "Reset printing system..." 
   
  As an alternative, if you currently have one or more printers listed, you can Option-click the "-" (Remove printer) button.
