Step 1: Plug in your Wacom tablet

  • Connect your tablet to your local computer before starting your Anyware session.

Step 2: Start your HP Anyware session

  • Open the Anyware client and connect to your remote workstation as usual.

Step 3: Open the USB Devices menu

  • Once inside the remote session:

    • Look for the USB Devices icon (usually at the top or side of the client window).

    • Click it to open the list of connected devices.

Step 4: Redirect your Wacom tablet

  • In the list, find your Wacom tablet.

  • Click Connect to remote session (sometimes called Attach or Redirect).

  • 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.
