Sorry
App running on WIndows server 2003 R2 standard X64 edition.
HP officejet 8000 wireless

Workstation is a Windows XP SP3
Under Remote Desktop Connection, click options and make sure that printers under Local Resources is ticked.

On the server you would need to install a 64bit driver for the printer in question as your client is Windows XP 32 bit..
Is that the HP OfficeJet Pro 8000 series? If so, be sure to download & install the PCL driver for it, not the host-based print driver: The use of host-based print drivers is not supported on terminal servers. You'll have to be sure that the same driver is installed on both the terminal server & client pc for the printer to be redirected.

HP has produced a document that lists the supported drivers for terminal & Citrix XenApp servers.  See page 20 of 23 in this PDF for HP's recommendation for the OJ Pro 8000 series:
