Windows 10 sees my PIXMA MX410 via WiFi, but my printer doesn't see my computer when scanning

[mackattacker]

I want to scan files from my PIXMA MX410 to my computer wirelessly. I had my printer print the LAN Settings so I could confirm that, yes, they're on the same network. Using the Microsoft Scan App, I can see my Canon system. But on my scanner/printer, when I'm in the scan mode, it asks me if I want to scan to USB flash drive or PC. I choose PC. It asks me to "Select PC" and gives me either the option of "Local (USB)" or "Search again". When I choose Search Again, it tells me to wait a moment, then goes back to the same two options. So while Windows can wirelessly see my scanner, it can't seem to see my PC. As far as I can tell, my PC is discoverable on the network.

I should make note of two other things:

- This problem has been long term. Prior to this, I saved to a USB flash drive, but that option quit working about a month ago. I assumed it was my flash drive, but I've since tried three additional drives, one of which was new, and the scanner can't seem to see any of them.

- I've never successfully gotten the scanner to scan to my PC via "Local (USB)" either.
