So, this has been going on for since about September of 2024. I bought land and wanted to scan all my documents for it and printer wouldn't send the files to gmail. At the time I changed no settings. I have since periodically try fixing this. I followed the manual, watched many and may videos on youtube, browsed reddit and quora and many others including here. Every "solution" hasnt worked. So I will list out what I've tried
Please can someone help. I have like 10 people I do taxes for and really need to scan!!!!

Greetings,
An 806 error usually indicates a problem with the destination email address. Either the way it's entered in the address book, or the way it's being typed into the LCD panel.
You do need to supply mail server settings so the printer knows what to do in order to send mail. I have 2 Canon laser printers configured to use Gmail for SMTP.
There's no need to upgrade firmware. It has no bearing on the ability to send email.
To use Gmail.
SMTP Server: smtp.google.com
Username. Full Gmail address
Password. Enter the app password you created without spaces. 16 characters. (Try typing it in). No copy/paste.
TLS check box enabled. Ensure this is under the heading for SMTP TX, not POP
Port: I used 587. Once again.. Make sure you're setting the port for SMTP TX: not POP.
There is a test button on the upper right hand corner where you can test the configuration. This will tell you if the printer can connect to your mail server (Google account) correctly. You must be logged into the remote UI from a PC.
For My Address Book I just entered the addresses under Favorites. They appear on the printer's LCD, or I can enter a recipient's address manually if I don't have an entry.
806 typically indicates a problem with your recipient's email address, but I'd look the whole thing over just to be on the safe side. Sounds like you're really close.
