Abstract
A scanner redirection method for a remote desktop computer system that includes a client computer and a remote computer, includes the steps of: receiving a request from an application installed on the remote computer to acquire an image from an image capturing device using a driver selected for communicating with the image capturing device; selecting a scanner redirection process based on a selection of the driver and loading the scanner redirection process, which is to be used in communicating with the selected driver, wherein said selecting includes selecting an m-bit scanner redirection process in response to the selected driver being an m-bit driver or selecting an n-bit scanner redirection process in response to the selected driver being an n-bit driver, where m is not equal to n; and upon acquiring the image using the selected scanner redirection process and the selected driver, transmitting the image to the application.
