PIXMA MG3222 will print but not scan ("Failed to open a connection to the device (-21345)")

I just got a new laptop, a MacBook Air 2020 running OS 13, and I am having the same problem as other Mac users with other printer models. The printing works, but the scanner says "Failed to open a connection to the device (-21345)." I logged into the IP address and disabled ipv6, per one person's recommendation, and turned off and back on the printer, but it still doesn't work. I also tried downloading the latest IJ Network Tool, but that doesn't help either. I am doing this while connected via USB.

It does print (wired, USB) fine.

It's really not very old, and it's unethical to promote throw-away culture by encouraging folks to trash tech just because it's not brand new. A printer should easily last 20 years.
