Scanner attached on guest using vrdp

Post by absero »

Hello everyone !

Does someone know if a Twain Scanner attached on a remote machine (via vrdp) works ? Remote machine, host and guest are all WIN XP SP3 and I use RDP 6 Clientsoftware (which usually supports only PnP devices...)

Im thankful for all suggestions !

Thanks a lot.

I'm unsure exactly what you're asking.

Something that may help, assuming you are trying to access a scanner via a network, is to use the SANE interface. Works really well under Linux and I see (though I've not personally tested) that there is a Win32 implementation that must connect SANE to TWAIN.

See http://www.xsane.org/xsane-win32.html
