Scanner Redirection

Just curious What everyone especially in the medical industry, is doing for scanner redirection.  This seems to be a very difficult thing to prefect on VDI.  Had a ton of luck using Windows 7 but not much with Win 10.  If it's not one thing it's another.  We have at least 3 apps that need to use the scanner and can never seem to get them to work correctly.  We are not using UEM since there are a lot of speed and login times associated with it.  Just curious what others are utilizing and how it's all working.  Thanks

Thank you, Perry

I know many models of HP ScanJet has been supported by Win10 (Check this link) but many vendors/models like Fujistu ScanSnap s510 is not!

A important point you should consider after checking your device compatibility with Guest OS Win7/Win10, is installing Horizon View Agent in your desredirection.pngktop with following parameters to works correctly after setup:

Scanner Redirection

USB Redirection

Keep in mind - Scanner Redirection only comes into play when you are using a device that has the scanner set up already like a Windows machine using the software client.

If you are using a Thin/Zero client you don't need scanner redirection and instead only need to install the driver in your VDI image. I'm going through this right now.
