Maybe there are some files corrupted. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the driver.

Hey usually when i connect canon printers to linux. you must set the printer to the same internet as linux mint. and after that open up the printer program in linux mint and see if you can get it connected from there. Side note a quick google search on your driver gave me this linux driver that you might need to install, but 9 of 10 times there is a driver already baked into linux in the linux kernel. https://www.canon.se...=linux (64-bit)
