PIXMA MG5420 - Set new PC for scanning

[jaynier2]

I have a new PC, and am trying to scan directly from the MG5420 printer/scanner to the PC.  I am receiving a message that I need to select the PC, which still shows my old computer.  I have downloaded the IJ Scan Utility and can scan from the utility but don't see where to select the PC to scan from the printer.  Any ideas on how to complete the setup?

Thanks for the assistance!

Thank you - i called support and was able to select the new printer using the scan/forward button on the printer.
