Try deleting the printer's entry in System Preferences Printers & Scanners
Make sure you have the latest driver installed
Leave the printer connected and not asleep
Restart your Mac
See if the printer is picked up in Preferences if not try adding it again.
If still not working try resetting the Printing System

Try downloading the latest driver from Canon.
