Which driver to install?

I am accessing Windows Server 2008 using Terminal Server (on Windows 7 home if that matters). I am trying to install a printer driver, but I don't see an OS choice for Windows Server. My choices are:

Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit)
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)
Microsoft Windows Vista
Microsoft Windows Vista (64-bit)
Microsoft Windows XP
Microsoft Windows XP x64
Microsoft Windows 2000
Mac OS X
Linux

Does this mean that my printer isn't compatible with Windows Server?

I tried to look for a "Generic Driver" for Windows Server, but that just seems to forward to a driver installer program.

What do you mean by "the printers are redirected"? If I have an executable running on the server machine and I chose to print on my local machine are you saying there is pipe or something similar in which the client sends window regions to the server application and the server application sends bit arrays to the client? Does this happen through printer sharing or does this happen through Remote ?Desktop Magic?

I am closing this because I am leading into a harder question concerning permissions problems that overlaps testing of these answers.
