In Remote Desktop Connection the local resource can be a printer (as you know). But I think the scanner must be closely connected with the computer and I do not see it as an option in RDC. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
So yes, scan to desktop and copy to the RDC. <br />
<br />
Someone else may know differently but that is how I would do it.<br />

As suggested <b>diggisaur</b>, Officejet 6500 will not support network scan, <br />

You can try configuring virtual scanner in remote desktop, and link virtual scanner to your locally plugged scanner.

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.
