Neme,
The Mac indeed has the capability, Look in System Setting, Printers
and Scanners. Once you acquire a printer, this is where you add it.
I have the brother HL-L2395DW which user toner cartridges thus will
not dry out.
From E.T.'s Keyboard...
Reality.sys corrupted. Universe halted. Reboot(Y/N) ?

Hi Nene,
Yes, I can save the scanned material for later use. How you do
that will depend on which scanning software you use.
With my HP printer/scanner, I installed 2 applications from the
App Store. The HP application is used for setting up the printer
and creating an HP account. The HP Easy Scan application allows me
to save scanned output to various formats. If I save to one of the
text formats, then the software automatically performs OCR. The
OCR isn’t quite as good as I used to get from ABBYY FineReader on
Windows, but that software is quite expensive and the HP Easy Scan
software is free.
There are other scanning/OCR applications in the App Store, but I
haven’t tried any of them.
You can acquire scanned images using the Image Capture Application
that comes with MacOS. The scanned image is saved to a jpg file.
When you open the file in Preview, VoiceOver focus is on the
image. Pressing VO + Shift + l will cause VoiceOver to read the
text within the image. I used to use this method when I had a
Canon scanner that connected via USB.
Do you already have access to a scanner?

an HP printer/scanner which supports AirPrint. Hence, I can print
