Managing a local scanner

[Mario - Roma]

I need to let applications running on a Terminal Server (Windows Server 2003
based) acquire documents from the local scanner connected to the client PC
where my RDP client runs.
I am quite sure that:
- Use of local scanners is not supported with Microsoft Terminal Services
- Use of local scanners is suopported while implementing Citrix Presentation
Server
Is there any other way to let applications running on the TS acquire pages
from a local scanner?
I found some shareware tools that publish the scanner in a web page managed
by the client PC, but it does not fit my needs.
I need something to "share" or "publish" a TWAIN driver.
Suggestions, pointers and hints welcome...
