HP Remote Graphics Software 5.4.8 User Guide
NOTE: Hewlett-Packard RGS supports remote USB. Devices that adhere to the USB standard should
work. Because RGS is a remote graphics protocol and is emulating the USB protocol over a network,
devices that are sensitive to timing may not work at all. This includes USB devices with security and
encryption mechanisms built into them. The additional network delay could be looked at as a threat.
Other devices that are known to break the USB standard, such as WEB CAMS, may also not function
at all. Performance of USB devices over RGS will not be equal to that of a locally connected device.
File copies may take longer due to the additional overhead of the network protocol sitting on top of the
USB protocol.
HP recommends that customers thoroughly test any USB device they are considering to use with RGS as
Hewlett-Packard cannot certify and or guarantee it will work over a remote USB protocol. Many USB
vendors do not support their devices over any remote USB protocol and you should check with the USB
vendor for support concerns first.
