# Printing and Scanning

## **Printing**

The **Printing** category allows you to configure the renaming format of redirected printers. The format may vary depending on which version and language of the host you are using.

To use default settings, select the **Inherit default settings** option. See the **Using default settings** subsection above.

The **RDP printer name format** drop-down list allows you to select a printer name format specifically for the configured host.

Select the **Remove session number from printer** option to exclude the corresponding information from the printer name.

## **Scanning**

In the **Scanning** view, configure which imaging interfaces should be enabled on the host(s). Select from WIA, TWAIN, or both.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.parallels.com/landing/ras-mp-guide/infrastructure/rd-session-hosts/configure-an-rd-session-host/printing-and-scanning.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
