My Canon TS9520 printer is no longer working after Big Sur update 11.4
Is there away to get a driver to run my printer? It stopped working since the update. Cannon says it doesn't need a driver but Big Sur does not let me add it.

According to this Apple document, About AirPrint - Apple Support, your printer model is AirPrint compatible.
Go to the System/Printers & Scanners preference pane, Control (right) - click on your printer and select" Reset printing system…" from the contextual menu.
Then add the printer back with the AirPrint (wireless) option.

Hello,
As mentioned by Old Toad, AirPrint does in fact work with Mac computers (Mac OS X 10.7 Lion and later). However, the Canon PIXMA MP490 is not in the list in About AirPrint - Apple Support. A printer that is not AirPrint-enabled would require drivers from the printer manufacturer. Unfortunately, macOS 10.12 Sierra appears to be the latest supported system version ( https://www.canon-europe.com/support/consumer_products/products/fax__multifunctionals/inkjet/pixma_mp_series/pixma_mp490.html?type=drivers&language=en&os=macos%2010.12%20(sierra) ). This does not necessarily mean that the drivers in question cannot be used with newer systems, but that would be experimental.
You may want to try resetting the printing system and make another attempt to add the printer.
Check whether the operating system then would suggest something suitable.

AirPrint compatible only relates to iPad, iPhone, not to iMac.
My printer Canon PIXMA MP490 no longer exists and can't be entered as a printer on my printer list in System Preferences. So I "can't click on my printer and select"
Any way to rectify this?

That's not correct. I'm using AirPrint with my iMac to print and scan to my Canon MG7720 all-in-one printer.
The following is from the AirPrint document:
About AirPrint
AirPrint is an Apple technology that helps you create full-quality printed output without the need to download or install drivers.
With AirPrint, it's easy to print full-quality photos and documents from your Mac, iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch without having to install additional software (drivers).
Also, the following guide from Canon UK (for similar models) could perhaps be of interest.
