How can I launch a printer scanner from Spotlight?
Easy,


Open System Preferences
Select the "Printers &amp; Scanners" control panel
Select the Scanner that you want to create the shortcut for
Once the scanning window opens, right-click on the Scanner's application icon on the right side of your dock, and select "option/keep on dock"
Next time you want to open the scanner, just click on its docked icon
If it is a combo printer/scanner, step 5 may open the printer queue window instead of going straight to scan mode. If this occurs, simply the click the "Scan" button that shows in the Printer Queue window.
