What software do I need to download so that I can connect the scanner driver for Canon Pixma MG5760 please?
 
Solution
Probably these: MG5700 series MP Drivers Ver. 1.00 (Windows 10/10 x64/8.1/8.1 x64/8/8 x64/7/7 x64/Vista/Vista64/XP).

Found here: https://www.canon.com.au/printers/pixma-mg5760/support?option=drivers

Make sure you click on "download drivers" at the bottom of that Drivers box.

And if you want to be able to scan from the printer and have it go directly to the computer, make sure you turn your anti-virus software off and dis-able your windows firewall. Once the drivers are installed, go back and turn those items back on that you turned off..

The reason I say this is because I own a Canon MG 6820 and I had to go back and uninstall the drivers for the printer, turn off those 2 items I mentioned earlier, and then re-install the drivers...

If I tried to scan from the Operation panel on the printer, it wouldn't scan. it looked like it wanted to scan but it never actually would scan the item and send it to the computer.

If you still run into problems, contact the Canon Support Forum: http://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Canon-Forum/ct-p/Canon_Forum

They helped me resolve the issue I mentioned earlier, about not being able to scan from the Operation Panel on the printer itself
