Any recommendation which scan solution could best be used on an IGEL OS 11 with WDS to a Windows Server 2016?


Does anyone have a recommendation which scan solution could best be used on an IGEL OS11 with WDS to a Windows Server 2016?

Alternatively pure network solutions without passthrough the scanner in any form.

Thx in advance!


Hi Klauss, the only configuration I have heard of is Fabulatech Scanner for Remote Desktop

kb.igel.com/igelos-11.03.100/en/rdp-fabulatech-scanner-redirection-24384661.html

www.scanner-for-remote-desktop.com


Also this boxes are used by customers www.silextechnology.com/connectivity-solutions/device-connectivity


thank you so much!

@member You mean the USB Device Servers?

And that is working stable?


Right. Connect the scanner to the boxes and they’re network connected scanners. I have some customers and they’re fine with them


In the meanwhile I thought it may be better I look for an multifunction printer which has scan-2-mail function. Brother has some interesting devices.

@member Ok good to know that. Price is about 100, I have to think about that…


I’ve been using silex, they work great! Especially on a one to one vm setup. I’ve not tried fabulatech the price is a deal breaker for me :(


@member Yes good to know that this silex is running. Yes fabulatech is quite expansive, but this silex devices also round about 100.


Hi Klaus, I made a Custom Partition of XSane wiki.ubuntuusers.de/XSane/ which is a SANE-compatible scanning GUI for Linux. Did you want to try it on a test client to see if it picks up the USB scanner correctly? If so, I can send this to you in a PM.


@member Sorry for the late reply. Problem with that customer is that I have not enough time for “experiments”. So the proposal sounds really good, but in this case difficult somehow.

By the way – to run such an CP – I need enterprise lic? (edited)


Hi Klaus. there will be a change regarding the CP for EMP.


Are there any details?


Yes – CP will be in the normal Workspace Edition. don’t know more at the moment about existing licensing etc. – that will be announced soon I think.
