Hi,


The Canon MX532 is listed in About AirPrint - Apple Support as a model with support for the driverless AirPrint technology. An AirPrint-enabled model should not need additional drivers, provided that the printer and the computer are connected to the same network (Wi-Fi router).


So, to begin with, check that the MX532 and the MacBook Pro both are properly connected to your Wi-Fi network.


A guide from Canon Europe (for similar models, such as the MX535) could perhaps be of some help:

In case of difficulties with AirPrint, and if the setup is OK, you could try the following procedure:

Power off the Wi-Fi router, the printer, the MacBook Pro, and all other devices/computers. Wait two to three minutes. Power on the router. Wait two to three minutes. Power on the printer. Wait a minute or two. Power on the MacBook Pro. Finally, power on all other devices/computers.
