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.) -

* LWP DokScan for RDP -

* 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.
