I have a laptop computer at home, for which I am looking to buy a printer.

I wish to connect to another computer using Remote Desktop Connection (the
remote computer runs either Windows XP, or XP server).

I wish to be able to print from the laptop, with the output received to my
laptop (either usb or wireless printer) rather than at the remote server.

Can I use a wireless printer from my laptop?

Will I need to install printer drivers on the remote computer? Will this
cause problems if the remote computer is XP server.

Do I need a special printer? or will a standard printer work ok?
