There was a previous answer to address this same issue for Canon MG3170 wireless scanner.
Adapting the same approach for Ubuntu 16.04.3 and 16.04.4, I have:
- downloaded the package "MG3570 series ScanGear MP for Linux (debian
Packagearchive)" from Canon into folderDownloads, - Done these steps:
in a open terminal:
cd Downloads
tar -zxvf scangearmp-mg3500series-2.20-1-deb.tar.gz
cd scangearmp-mg3500series-2.20-1-deb
./install.sh
scangearmp
However, after clicking on Update Scanner List button in the scangearmp GUI, it still did not detect the scanner on the Canon MG5370 printer cum scanner.
I am able to print to the printer wirelessly but unable to scan. Neither am I able to use the program "Simple Scan" to scan. However, if I plug Canon MG5370 to my computer via USB, the scanner will work with the program "Simple Scan". My computer is connected to the network via lan.
How can I scan using Canon MG5370 when it is wireless connected to the network?

the "previous answer" that you used as a guide; was for a 3500 series device;
however you have a 5300series device; so the 3500series version of scangear is not going to work; you need the 5300 series from here http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/contents/ASIA/EN/0100395602.html and is comes down as scangearmp-mg5300series-1.80-1-deb.tar.gz so you can use the format of the commands above; but it would be
cd Downloads
tar -zxvf scangearmp-mg5300series-1.80-1-deb.tar.gz
cd scangearmp-mg5300series-1.80-1-deb
sudo ./install.sh
So Simple Scan uses the SANE software; open-source software; and they reckon the 5300 is fully supported; hence it works via usb
networking is more complex; if you first of all run in a terminal
cnijnetprn --search auto
can you tell us what you get back please
have a read at this post Troubleshooting Canon scanner over network to give you a feel of what is needed
