Citrix-tested scanning capability of HP AIO devices
Citrix tested the HP AIO devices shown in Table 16 and their associated drivers with XenApp 6.0. Although they are
multifunction devices, Citrix only tested the scanning capability of these AIO devices; no other functionality was tested.
During the testing, no problems were encountered when running Citrix test cases with the HP AIO devices and drivers listed
for each test case.

Test methodologies were similar to those described in the Citrix-tested HP printers section. However, the AIO devices were
always connected via SCSI or USB; the devices were not tested as stand-alone network printers.
Citrix tested the AIO device’s TWAIN redirection capability.
TWAIN redirection
Description
XenApp can now redirect client-connected imaging devices, notably document scanners, from the client to the server. This
allows users to control client-attached imaging devices from applications that run on the server.
Test methodology
The HP AIO devices listed in Table 17 were connected to the client system using a SCSI cable or USB cable; the driver for the
AIO device was either downloaded from the HP Driver Support website or installed from the CD-ROM supplied with the
device.
The client system connected to the XenApp server farm, which verified that TWAIN-compatible applications in a XenApp
server session could recognize and utilize the AIO device for scanning within the particular application.

No issues were discovered when testing TWAIN redirection using these HP AIO devices.
Planned future testing
Testing of HP LaserJet, Business Inkjet, Designjet, and Deskjet printers and AIO devices is planned to continue with the next
release of XenApp. Newer model HP LaserJet, Business Inkjet, Designjet, and Deskjet printers and AIO devices will be added
to the test matrix.
Summary
This document describes the results of tests conducted by HP to determine how well HP printers perform in Citrix
environments. The tests are explained and any issues that occurred when the tests were run are described.
Citrix has also collaborated with HP to test scanning functions on select HP All-in-One (AIO) devices and their associated HP
TWAIN drivers in a XenApp environment. These tests were run to determine how HP AIO devices and their associated TWAIN
drivers performed with the scan-related feature tests that Citrix uses to test its XenApp server and client software. This
document explains the scan tests performed by Citrix, identifies which HP AIO devices and TWAIN driver versions were used,
and describes any issues that occurred while these tests were being performed.
