This was a long time ago, but a recent message on this list under the subject 'Unable to find wireless printer/scanner (Canon Pixma MG2950) on Guix' [0] suggested a fix which also worked in my case: All I needed to add to my 'operating-system' declaration was the '(name-service-switch %mdns-host-lookup-nss)' line, and I can print now.
Thanks to Guillaume for the suggestion. [0]: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2023-03/msg00094.html
