PIXMA G7020 keeps saying "cannot print the specified pdf file the format is not supported"

For some reason, when I us the Canon PRINT app to print with my Pixima G7020, it now tells me that it "cannot print the specified pdf file the format is not supported", even though I have printed PDF files in the past.

Also, the printer keeps being unlisted/grayed out (see attached pics), forcing me to go back in and reconnect it.

What operating system are you using? If it is windows, use a different app to see if it prints from there. This is one if you don't already have it
