How to print using Remote Desktop (mstsc) ?

I want to print my receipt from my remote machine using remote desktop connection.
I am using windows 7 professional and using thermal printer.

I have done following things:

1. I have selected printer option in remote desktop - Local devices and resources
2. I have installed the same printer drivers in in the remote machine

But the printer in the remote machine not showing as Extended but I can see Fax is extended.
Why my thermal printer is not showing as extended ?
Please let me know how to print from remote desktop.

What type of printer is this?  A receipt printer?  How is it connected.
 
Instead of selecting Printers you may need to select Ports if it is a receipt printer running off a COM port.
One really quick way is to share the printer from the computer that works, and install that shared printer on the remote desktop computer.
