when you are launching the RDC, after you key in the login details > select options > Local Resources Tab > check the tick mark for the printer. (So that every time you use the RDC then the local printer will get connected as well)
what if you will go different way and share printer on your XP, then just browse for it on server machine and connect it?

i have all ready tryed to share my printer and connect via \\....my computer..name or ip..\..printer name, right click connect but when i give the path for the drivers my server says that he cant use this drivers for setup and i have all ready tryed with x64 drivers and with x32 drivers for lexmark.
Off course i have all ready checked the tick mark on RDC / Local resourses.

what is the printer model ?
if you try to install win server (x64 or x32 depends on your server) driveron the XP machine? then when you will try to connect it on server using \\hostname system should use installed server driver

First try just to install this package on server without printer connected (to get drivers into system) and then try to connect it from XCP machine using \\hostname
if not, then try to rename from .exe to .zip and extract on your XP machine. Then go to Printers and faxes, right-click on Lexmark, choose properties>Sharing tab>Additional drivers and try to install server x64 driver, if you will be successful just connect yourself to server and try to connect printer using \\hostname
