PIXMA G6020 Scan Function: Computer not connected error

[BWSmith]

I bought a PIXMA 6020 printer/scanner.  I hooked it up to wi fi and the print function works.  When I try to scan a document it says the computer is not connected and defaults to Local (USB).  The computer is connected or the printer wouldn't work.   There isn't even a standard USB port, it looks like I need  special cable.

How do I get the scanner to work?

I am running Windows 11.  I'm connected wireless.  The router is 3' away from the computer and printer.

I am connecting 2 computers to the printer wirelessly.  Both work well in the print mode.

Thanks for the info!  One more question we forgot to ask is which specific Canon printer model you're using.  We've made multiple PIXMA printers with the number 6020 in their name so please let us know if you've got the PIXMA G6020, the PIXMA TS6020, or something else.

We look forward to your reply!
