By "new mini" I'm going to assume you mean you are running Lion (OS X 10.7).

I took a look at this list:
OS X Lion, Mac OS X v10.6: Printer and scanner software

And it looks like both devices have built-in support. All you should need to do is:

a. Turn the devices on and connect them to the mini via USB
b. Go to System Preferences -> Print and Scan. The devices should just "be there" on the left side of the display window. If so, you can adjust settings if desired but basically they are ready to use.
