How are you connecting to the printer?
The good news about the Canon TS5151 is that it supports AirPrint™. That means that if you have it on the same network as your Raspberry Pi, your printer should be automatically discovered and configured as an available printer. You shouldn't need to install any drivers.
Connecting via USB can be somewhat less reliable.
I have a couple of AirPrint™ printers around the house, and sometimes they complain about being offline. But they almost always come back online when I print something to them
