Scan over wifi

[kyutums]

Would anyone know of a scanner that would allow me to scan over wifi / wired network? A friend has 1 MacBook, 2 Windows laptops, and an iPad that they would want use to scan and print wirelessly.

I use a Brother All in one wireless printer and I am able to scan wirelessly even from my iphone and ipad. You can check out other brands as well.

Im also using a brother printer, there's a free app you can download from the appstore so can can print and scan via wifi using ipods, iphones and ipads

I'm perplexed. What are you scanning wirelessly? Don't you have to put the material to be scanned onto the glass platen of the All-In-One printer?

@potpot and @ilav: Many thanks! Is there a specific feature name (ex. AirPrint, if that name even exists ) that I should be looking for? @soloworx: You're correct, they do need to place the item on the glass. But they don't want to connect via usb or LAN in order to scan.

@kyutums, the iphone/ipad app used by Brother is called 'Brother iPrint&Scan', as mentioned by potpot2, it is a free app available from the itunes app store.

Brother iprint and scan

Just bought a Brother MFC-J265W last week for just 5k from Fair N Square (Binondo). Pretty cool!

soloworx: It's a network fax, printer and scanner. You can place it anywhere in a room or even anywhere in your house that has a WIFI signal. No more USB cable required. Just configure the IP setting and the software on the mac and pc side and you're good to go. Pressing scan on the MFC will send the jpg file to any Mac/PC on the network. You can even fax documents directly from your Mac/PC

Thanks so much for this Ken. Been looking for a networked MFC with individual ink cartridges and is, of course, Mac-compatible, to replace our ancient HP DJ F380. This is perfect.

Thanks for all the feedback. Will try these printers.
