I recently updated the Apple OS on my laptop and now my Canon 3520 printer says I need to update "Canon IJ On-screen Manual" I do not see any relevant choice at the App Store. How do I proceed?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.2
The last Canon software issued for the PIXMA MG3520 was in Oct 2020 and was for macOS Catalina. They also indicate the exact same driver versions for Big Sur, and that implies that Canon did no further testing of their drivers against later beta releases, or the actual released version of macOS 11. A big leap of faith for users with Big Sur installed.
When your PIXMA MG3520 is networked (wired or wireless), there is built-in Apple AirPrint driver support for it, and you would not require any Canon drivers or software.
With your MG3520 powered and networked, visit System Preferences > Printers & Scanners panel, and right-click on the printer entry in Printers. Select Reset printing system… from that secondary menu, and this will take you through the process of removing your MG3520, and then re-adding it. Except this time, you want to select AirPrint as the driver, instead of any Canon driver. Then , re-add the printer. You should be able to print, and if this device has a scanning component, Apple's Image Capture application should recognize the MG3520 too.

Thanks for the advice. I deleted all printers and added the Canon3520. I let it auto set it up. The printer works via WiFi just fine..
Why not go to the Canon support site for your Canon printer.
This is what I found for Canon 3520.
or is your printer the Cannon Pixma G3520,

I plugged the USB cord, that I had been plugging into my laptop, into my Netgear WiFi. The Canon Network IJ network tool utility searched but did not find my printer. It said to be sure that "network settings are correct" How do I update the network settings. It appears that it is looking for a USB connection from my laptop (vs wifi)?
i recently updated the Apple OS on my laptop and now my Canon 3520 printer says I need to update the Canon IJ On-Screen Manual to work with the macOS. Ido not see any applicable app in the App Store. Help!
