How to Enable Wacom Pressure Sensitivity in HP Anyware

Written by Romarius Beard

Step 1: Plug in your Wacom tablet

  • Connect your tablet to your local computer before starting your CREE8 Workstation session.

Step 2: Connect to your CREE8 Workstation using either the CREE8 Web Application or Desktop App

  • With the Desktop App or Web Browser open, connect to your remote workstation as usual.

Step 3: Open the USB Devices menu

  • Once inside your CREE8 Workstation:

    • Hover your mouse over the upper-left of the screen to drop down the menu bar, click on Connection.

    • In the drop-down menu, select USB Devices.

    • Click it to open the list of connected devices.

Step 4: Redirect your Wacom tablet

  • In the list, find your Wacom tablet. If you don't see it, make sure the checkbox is enabled next to "Show Human Interface Devices."

  • Click Connect next to your listed Wacom tablet.

  • You should see it switch from local to remote use.

Step 5: Test in Photoshop (or your app)

  • Open Photoshop (or whichever app you use).

  • Try a brush stroke—pressure sensitivity should now work.

Tips & Troubleshooting

  • If you skip Step 4, the tablet will act only as a basic mouse—no pressure sensitivity.

  • For best performance, always use Locally Terminated Mode (this is automatic in most cases).

  • Avoid calibrating on the remote workstation with Wacom Center—this can cause pen offset.

  • If on macOS, you may need to approve USB access in System Settings > Security & Privacy.
