Had a similar problem with an Epson wireless printer and it was because the IP address changed. If your router allows you to reserve an IP for a particular MAC address , then setting this is the best way to stop future problems.

The easiest way to fix this is to login to your router and somewhere to do with Connected Devices it should show you the canon printer and current IP address. Don't have a windows machine at hand to check but from memory you go in to the properties of the printer and add another COM port specifying the IP of the printer. Something liek that anyway.
