Re: How to control the Scanner which connect with a Thin Terminal?

No, that's not how it works.

Some devices (for example: keyboards and printers) work within an
rdp or ica session, when they are connected to an USB port, but
such a redirection is done on the level of the device, not the
port.

>From http://ts.veranoest.net/ts_faq.htm

Q. How can I connect to my local scanner in a TS session?

A. Windows rdp does not support redirection of local scanners
(Device Level redirection) or USB ports (Port Level redirection).
For an explanation of Device versus Port Level redirection, see
Citrix KB article
CTX816193 - USB Support in MetaFrame Products
http://knowledgebase.citrix.com/kb/entry.jspa?externalID=CTX816193

which applies to Citrix PS 3.0 and native Windows 2003 Terminal
Services.

So as Patrick already wrote, you will need some 3rd party software.

Citrix Presentation Server 4.0 (Enterprise and Advanced Editions
only) provides TWAIN support; local scanners and USB attached
digital cameras are now supported.

Other solutions are based on sharing the scanner on the network.
This can be done with a number of 3rd party utilities:

* RemoteScan - lets you share any kind of TWAIN scanner (SCSI / USB
/ Firewire, etc.)
http://www.remote-scan.com/
* LWP DokScan for RDP
http://www.lwp.de/dokscanrdp.html?&L=1
* ScanShare Pro - from Netcore (SCSI scanners only)
http://www.netcore.com.tw/product.htm
* Some scanner models include network scanner sharing, and are
accessible by terminal server users.

Note that other devices, such as keyboards and printers, work
perfectly well when connected to a local USB port, thanks to Device
Level redirection.
