When i select scan on my computer, it gives the option "Scan to Cloud".


Documents destined to for iCloud are saved to a folder on your Mac in the Users/~/Library/Mobile Documents which is the folder that is synced to the iCloud servers. Check in that folder to see if any of your scans are there.


Also make sure you have Documents and Data enabled in the System/iCloud preference pane:

It's not entirely clear what you are trying to do. You can only scan actual physical pieces of paper, not electronic documents whether on your computer or iCloud. If you want to print documents which are living on iCloud you will need to access them from whichever application created them, but on your Mac, and print from there.

I think you're misunderstanding Jacduffy. I have the same question. I tried to scan on my new airprinter to my icloud account, so that I could email an invoice to a customer, and it said "Scan to cloud not set up. Register this printer with cloud services." I don't know what printer he has, but mine is an Epson XP-400 that I got from the Apple Store. Finding out how to print from the ipad was easy, but to use it as a wireless scanner is more difficult.
