Q: How can I connect to my local scanner or digital camera in a TS

session?

 

A: Windows rdp does not support TWAIN devices (scanners, digital

cameras). This is documented here:

931946 - The "From Camera or Scanner" menu option is unavailable in

Office XP and Office 2003 programs during a terminal server session

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=931946

 

So you will need some 3rd party software.

 

Citrix Presentation Server 4.0 (Enterprise and Advanced Editions

only) provides TWAIN support; local scanners and USB attached

digital cameras are now supported. If you want to use a scanner

connected to a thin client, make sure that the thin client runs XP

embedded. You need XPe because you need to install the scanner

driver on the thin-client.

 

Other solutions are based on sharing the scanner on the network.

This can be done with a number of 3rd party utilities:

 

* RemoteScan - lets you share any kind of TWAIN scanner (SCSI / USB

/ Firewire, etc.) - http://www.remote-scan.com/

* LWP DokScan for RDP - http://www.lwp.de/dokscanrdp.html?&L=1

* Some scanner models include network scanner sharing, and are

accessible by terminal server users.

 

Other devices, such as keyboards and printers, work perfectly well

when connected to a local USB port, thanks to Device Level

redirection. For an explanation of Device versus Port Level

redirection, see Citrix KB article

CTX816193 - USB Support in MetaFrame Products, which applies to

Citrix PS 3.0 and native Windows 2003 Terminal Services.
