I upgraded to Ventura 13 and I can't get my Canon MG2120 printer to work with it.


Mac mini, macOS 13.3

I have a Canon 8120 printer/scanner and it dates from 2011. Like yours, Canon's web site says it is retired and no longer supported.


Mine has drivers that date from Mac OS Sierra; yours at least has drivers that date from Mac OS High Sierra.


What I did with mine is:


Go to Settings and Printers and Scanners. Remove the Printer/Scanner from the list. Then restart and download and reinstall all the drivers for your unit, I believe they are there under High Sierra, but past High Sierra they are not shown. I installed all the print and scan drivers for mine, even thought Canon says they are only for up through Sierra. I can print fine, and al the options are available. Scanning works fine using Image Capture. Hopefully yours will work similarly as well.
