Using 3T Time Capsulse as my home wifi, using Canon MF4500W wifi laser printer, but cannot print document out, message: "Filter" failure. Why?
MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)
but meanwhile, I can use my ipad and iphone via the "Canon mobile printing" app to print out images and document. wifi network seem ok.
I had a similar problem with my Canon printer. It stopped wirelessly connecting to my MBA but did connect wirelessly to our MacBook. I turned it and my MBA off, waited, turned them back on and it did not fix the problem. Then we had some electrical work done on the house and the power was out for 15 minutes. That fixed it! So the first action I suggest is you unplug it, unplug your Time Capsule, shutdown your Mac, wait a minute or more and then plug them in again.
In addition, I found it useful to install the software form the CD provided with the printer rather than downloading the drivers. The download options were confusing with different drivers for different functions and the scanner did not work from the System Preferences > Print & Scan menu until I installed the software from the CD.
If all else fails contact Canon.

Also check that your MBA is on the same network as your iPad. That will confirm your MBA is on the correct network.
I found some useful Max OS X printer references in another thread:
