VIKING OSX ! EUREKA ! In fact, in resetting the printer, it gives you two options, one of them being multifunction - which I had overlooked (Hm hm...) and by clicking on that, you have access to both the print and scan buttons !!!! So.... SOLVED !!!! Many many thanks and may Father Christmas bring you a special gift !

The Canon MG3650 is supported by Apple's AirPrint, and you don't need any Canon software or drivers. With the device powered, and networked (wired/wireless), right-click on its icon in your System Preferences : Printers & Scanners panel. Choose Reset Print system… and then re-add the device with AirPrint as the driver choice, not Canon drivers. With the printer icon back on the Printers & Scanners panel, right-click on it again to make it the default printer, and then print something.
Forget about the (supposedly) Canon software icon on your Dock. If the printer has a web interface, the print panel will give you access to it.
In the System Preferences : Printers & Scanner's panel, do you have adjacent Print and Scan buttons? If so, click the Scan button, and then select Open Scanner… which should be showing your MG 3650 device. Place content in the scanner, and your should be able to scan that as a preview.
Try Apple's Image Capture from the Appliccations folder, or contact Canon support or support communities there for more scanner configuration for AirPrint. I have checked Canon's site for this device, and their manuals do not address AirPrint configuration.
Post your own main post, rather than thread-jack onto someone else's post with an entirely different printer. Alot more people will see your post as a main post than here, and your odds of receiving help are also greater.
Hi VikingOSX, me again ! There is no scan button next to the printer in the Printers & Scanners. MG 3650 is indeed supported by AirPrint. Printing works fine !!!! But I'm stuck on scanning. Any other clue ?
I updated my 2017 MacBook Pro to Big Sur, and I have lost the capability to print to our Canon imageRunner 1435. I cannot even download the drivers, though it tells me the download was successful. Help! I can print to the hp 8710 with no problems. Sigh. I am such a technoDinosaur!
Fantastic Viking OSX ! It works !!!!!! Thanks LOADS !!!!
BUT .... How can I get to the scanner ? And how do I get the icon back on my launch pad ?
does that apply to canon MG5750?
Mine is a Canon MG 8500, if that is what you are asking.
Sorry- Just got this wrong - It is a Canon MG 3650 actually !! Ooops !
You can look in the Apple AirPrint link that I provided to the OP and see for yourself whether the MG5750 device is supported.
Thank you so much for your amazingly fast reply and great help VikingOSX !
You are welcome. As for Father Christmas, my 32 inch LG 32UN880-B Ergo display was delivered late morning and I am typing this in 4K from my M1 mini.
ENJOY !!!
Big Sur & Canon MG 3650
