Pixma MX532 Scanner Utility Does not Work (jp.co.canon.ij.scanutility2.icadriver error 4294967249.)

[BellaBlue06]

I have tried everything and I still cannot get the Canon IJ Scanner Utility to work with my Pixma MX532

I am running MacOS Catalina latest version 10.15.3 on a Macbook Pro brand new last year. 

This printer is new and a replacement for the same model I had that jammed badly a few months ago. Printing is no issue but I cannot scan at all.

I reset my wifi and printer several times. I reconnected the printer to the wifi. I downloaded installed the scanner driver (ICA Driver Ver. 4.1.3a (Mac)) and software (IJ Scan Utility Ver.2.3.7 (Mac)) repeatedly and it just says it cannot find the scanner and gives me this message when I open the IJScan utility and click scan:

The operation couldn’t be completed. (jp.co.canon.ij.scanutility2.icadriver error 4294967249.)

I have gotten a program called VueScan to work but you have to pay to remove the watermark so I don't understand why I can't use the cannon scanner software I've paid for. I have sharing on in the printer/scanner settitngs as well. 

if I go to set up a new printer/scanner though it says Canon MX530 series - Bonjour Malfunction. 

Repeatedly restarting my computer and apps, and wifi and printer has not helped. Please somebody I don't understand why I can't scan.
