Macbook air is no longer printing

I've used a Cannon Mp280 printer with my MacBook air since 2017. It has suddenly begun to stop printing here on January of 2021. Anytime I select to print, the "Preview" image pops up on the screen reading "Error while printing". The document selected to be printed then cannot be closed. Open websites also won't close.

The printer does function well.


What must I do the gat my MacBook to print again?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.1
