Many modern printers can scan photos and documents. While your computer might work with your scanner, you'll get better results with specific apps.

Many printer brands also offer their own software that lets you scan from your computer. For instance, if you have an HP printer, you can use the HP Smart app to scan documents.

Once the printer driver is installed, you will have to add the printer using the Printers & Scanners System Preference. Type the URL for the printer you want to use from the table above.
