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.
Add a printer to your printer list so you can use it on Mac – Apple Support (UK)
Reset the printing system on your Mac to solve a problem – Apple Support (UK)

Your printer is AirPrint capable.

AirPrint supports networked devices whether connected by Wi-Fi or Ethernet cable. Got a laser printer here connected by the latter, and it works just fine on Mojave, Catalina, Big Sur, and Monterey.
yes, thank you .I needed to add a printer in system preferences.
You're welcome!
