How do I register my printer to my iCloud account so I can scan documents?
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.
I'm not sure whether you can scan directly to (presumably) the Mail application in iCloud. I would have expected to save the scan to your computer and select it as an attachment. If you're using an iPad I don't know how you would go about that.
You notice it says 'Scan to Cloud', not 'Scan to iCloud'. I don't know what it expects to be able to do - it's something you would need to take up with the manufacturers. They may not have the iCloud service in mind.
When i select scan on my computer, it gives the option "Scan to Cloud". Then when I push ok, it gives the above message. And yes, the invoice is a paper invoice that I am trying to scan.
