does anyone have information on TWAIN support for iGel devices within XenDesktop 7.x? Looking to use some Canon DR-C225 and M190 scanners and would like to avoid the USB virtual channel.
Twain isn‘t a Linux compatible way of access but a kind of pure Microsoft ones, so we can‘t force an integration even if I would be happy to😄
At the moment: USB Scanner is a tough topic…
They are a few ways to get it working, but there is no guarantee unfortunately:
1) use the USB Redirection to get it redirected into the Terminalserver, and install it there:

2) use the sane integration if supported by Scanner and map the scan directory into the session: (System=>Firmware Customization=>Features=>Sane support) and use linux.die.net/man/7/sane
3) Use USB<=>Lan Server: www.silextechnology.com/de/konnektivitätslösungen/geräte-konnektivität
Thanks, out of curiosity, has there been any testing on the 3 above to determine which uses less bandwidth? The issue I’m having with option #1 is that it will not work well over MPLS, it only seems to work well over LAN.
You are welcome, no, but I would assume that Sane and mapping a samba share should give the strongest control over QOS.
