I have found that Windows terminal server may be able to do what I want (redirecting client scanners). Can anyone recommend a good TS email list or forum that I can try to get help setting it up since I have yet to get it to work.

I can only say that I saw that software on the SCSI attached HP's from many years back. I would think doing the remote share with an USB attached scanner would be very difficult to do. If I was looking for this type of functionality I would look at some of the SCSI or higher end USB models. All that said the last time I even saw that software offered with a scanner was when there were still a lot of Windows 98 systems in the market/hands of clients. I don't remember seeing it since that time period but then I have not been looking either.

I heard that there are scanners that have software that comes with them that allows this but I havent found one yet myself. James ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jon B.

If so, yes. I've not used a document scanner but I did hook up my HP Scanjet G4050 to an old laptop and put it out of the way so I wouldn't have to listen to it or tie up my computer as it scanned in lots of negatives. I'm unsure of the client version though. I use VisionApp for all my RDP needs. Also, the scanner was attached to a Windows XP Pro machine, not a server OS of any kind.
