I work for Apple technical support I would recommend following the article
Here to reset the printing system and then re adding your printer. If that doesn't work I could give Canon a call and see if an updated firmware or possibly a driver is available. 2ndly if your machine is on 10.8.5 the upgrade to Yosemite is free and highly recommended. From what I've heard the upgrade to El Capitan (OS X 10.11) will also be free. If the solution I haven't provided doesn't work pm me and I'll give you further steps
