Pixma MG 6220 Stopped WIFI Printing from files but test prints ok

Scanning works wirelessly; test prints work; printing from files "fails." It was working until I happened to plug in another Canon printer, this time via USB. Now the 6220 will not print wirelessly from files.

Soryr, forgot to mention I'm on a Macbook Pro with 10.14X OS. I have tried Word, Acrobat, etc. No dice.

When I try to print from any file (PDF, word, inDesign, whatever) the print dialog starts and then stops with a 'Filter' Failed error message. have tried downloading latest driver. Prints fine with test sheets and scanner is working so WIFI is not the issue.

Be fore this happened, I had also tried to hook up another Canon printer to the WIFI network, which I never could get to work. It is a Canon 8720, and I now have it hooked up to the Macbook via USB. Could that be the problem?

Thanks. This is actually one of the first things I tried. I will try it again.

I did all that and the printer shows up on the list of available printers. As mentinoed earlier, I can use WIFI to print test prints, to check ink supply and to scan. But when I try to print, it gets about halfway and then says Printing Failed or similar.
