Why does my printer not work with High Sierra? Is there a work-around for Canon MX340?

I cannot print a document. I cannot add my printer or select the last printer used.

printer goes offline after ventura update My hardware is a MacMini with OS Ventura 13.1 operating wirelessly with my printer (HP Envy 5546 all in one printer/scanner). I cannot print a document as the printer is shown as "Offline". I would like to know if there is a simple procedure to make my printer "online". I have checked that the printer and computer are operating on the same network, also I have only this one printer on my network. Thanks to Old Toad for suggestion re how to make the question clearer.

Printer presets not saving Since upgrading to Ventura, my printer presets are not saving. I already had working printer presets in place before upgrading, such as 2 page B&W from drawer three. Part of the preset works. It will print 2 page B&W, but it doesn't pull specifically from drawer three. I've only noticed a problem in the drawer selection and the scaling options. I tried creating new presets and those didn't work either. I also updated the driver and it didn't correct it. I've read posts from other people will similar issues, but the only responses I see are how to set up a preset. Not knowing how to create a preset is clearly not the issue. It doesn't seem to be printer specific (this happens with my Brother printer and my Canon printer), nor computer specific (this happens with both of my Macs). I had hoped this would be fixed with 13.1, but the problem still exists. Any ideas?

I downloaded the software and installed it. The printer still does not work. I believe it is too old for the newest OS Big Sur 10.5.2, which was automatically updated yesterday. My printer worked right before the install. I went out and bought a new printer and ink today.
