Please do the following in this order:
Please remember printer & scanner drivers are provided to Apple by the manufacturer of the device. When a manufacturer (lets say Epson in this case) does not supply up-to-date drivers that is their way of telling you to buy a new device.
If your device is a scanner, then please use the pre-installed ImageCapture app. If Image Capture does not work, you can also try Vuescan available at VueScan Scanner Software for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. To learn more about Image Capture please click Image Capture Scan images in Image Capture on Mac

Hello MCSfromrichmond.
Is this the Canon PIXMA iP4200?
And what macOS did you upgrade to? And from?
FYI - macOS Catalina has no support for 32-software, and I suspect the software that was driving your printer was just that.
You will likely need to find new (alternative) driver for the printer.
Try here: Gutenprint for Mac OS X
FYI: The Canon printer is the G4200 and I am running MacOS Big Sur 11.4
However, many Thanks for the solution from rkaufmann87. Clear, simple directions.
I was hesitant to Trash the Canon software but after the "reset" the problem was solved and I added my printer back to the "Printer List", everything works smoothly.
Excellent!
