With regards to printing, you need to have installed the MF v10.4.0 driver that supports Yosemite. If you have installed this driver and you still get the Filter failed error, then I suggest you remove the MF from Printers & Scanners and then open Finder and select Go > Go to folder. Then enter /Library/Printers/Canon and press the Go button, With the Canon folder open you will see a folder called CUPS_MF_Printer. Trash this folder and then empty the Trash. Restart the Mac and run the MF v10.4.0 driver installer again and add the printer. Now see if it prints without error.

As for the Scanner, while in the Canon folder you should also see an entry called MFScanner. Trash this folder if present then run the ScanGear v2.3.0 installer for Yosemite. Now see if you can scan, making sure that you do have the Scan button selected on the MF and set to Remote Scanner.

The previous answer assumes your operating system is Mac Yosemite, and it appears to be incorrect even in that case. The e3 error reflects a paper jam. For resolution, go to http://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Personal-Printers/mp-160-error-E3-what-does-it-mean/td-p/11513.
