Apparent is showing the newest addition to their line of portable scanners with Doxie Go + Wi-Fi at Macworld | iWorld 2012. With a built-in rechargeable battery and memory chip you don’t need to plug it into an outlet or computer to start scanning. The Wi-Fi sends the scans directly to your Mac, iPhone, iPad, Evernote, Flickr, or FTP account with the iOS sync app.

A promotion has been around since at least 2004 in which Apple offered $100 rebates to customers who purchased a new Mac along with an eligible printer directly through the company. At first, the promotion would continuously renew after each of its three-month cycles. Then, it became a permanent offer more. But as of yesterday Apple has decided to discontinue the program.

Apparent Corporation recently announced the “Doxie Go”—a portable scanner that doesn’t require a computer. Doxie Go comes with a simple design that is very portable and mobile friendly. This portable scanner will wirelessly sync photos, documents, and receipts to your Mac, iOS device, or several online sharing services (Dropbox, Flickr, Evernote or other cloud-based data-sharing services).

Many printer manufacturers have been adding AirPrint suppor recently, and another to join in is Canon. The company has announced that three of its all-in-one PIXMA printers now support Apple’s AirPrint. The three models are the MG8220, the MG6220, and the MG5320. Canon has posted more information regarding updating your PIXMA printer(s) in order to add the new support feature, as a firmware update may be required in some cases in order to be able to now use AirPrint.

Apple’s AirPrint feature introduced in iOS 4.2 is definitely great if you have a printer that can support it. Unfortunately, many models by many different manufacturers still don’t, and users with unsupported printers will have to either turn to third-party apps or just live without the feature. Hewlett-Packard, however, has stepped up and added AirPrint support for 8 more of its LaserJet printers.

Lexmark has some SmartSolutions and, specifically, Envelope Wizard SmartSolutions, for their web-connected AIO printers. Before you head over there, though, you should check out FX Photo Studio Pro for Mac. It’s the right thing to do. Other updates today include yType, X4Shortcuts, a bundle of productivity apps from Apparent Software, and a 70% discount on QuickScale 3.8.

Document scanning seems to be a hot topic at this year’s Macworld. Many companies are offering solutions to not only quickly scan in all sorts of documents, but to also allow users to more efficiently manage the data on those scanned documents using OCR (optical character recognition). For instance, the solutions from Futijsu, BulletScan, and Neat all offer some ways to get your data into other areas of your computer and the web, whether it be Evernote, Google Docs, or local PDFs. They also aim to do so very quickly, using documents per minute as the main stat to look for if you’re a power user.

If you used to print wirelessly with Appletalk but you can’t now that you’ve upgraded, or maybe you just want to set up your printer to print over the ethernet, have no fear. These simple steps for HP (and likely others) WiFi or ethernet printers will have you up and printing again in no time. That way, you can get back to work without having to deal with a tangle of USB cables and hubs, and all you need is a little information about your printer.
