I'm not sure you need to worry about the drivers. The print job should get redirected - as the name of the printer on the client will say (redirected) - to computer being accessed and rendered there.

You do need to worry about the drivers unless you're using either the Citrix universal driver or the TS Easy Print driver from MS. &nbsp;It won't print to the client's local printer unless the driver is on the server. &nbsp;But, since this is a Windows 7 system, I'm pretty sure that Easy Print driver wouldn't apply: the driver for the printer needs to be installed on the remote desktop for printer redirection to work.

using a remote printer through an RDP session

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.
