Also, to the OP, you want a scanner, not a printer. One takes paper and makes digital, the other does the reverse.

That's it, OCR, dunno why ORG popped into my mind hehehe.
To the OP; i suggest the same as everyone said after me.
The "all-in-one" won't work for the purpose you are looking for; as you only need the "copy to digital" function of the "all-in-one"; and actually you need quite specifics on it (been able to scan books, high speed scans, good contrast, adaptable frame/size, etc,etc).
As I told you before:
If your "only" goal is to only have them digitalise, as kind of a back up for the paper; then any scanner will do.
If you are trying to have them done in some kind of text format (for e-readers); then as Hellmark corrected me; get a OCR software, or find a copier which has it's hardware and software synced to do this operation.
Good luck!
