I run windows XP on bolth computers. I want to use my home printer when I
access my office computer remotely. I need some guidance.
 
Here is what you need to do -

1. When you start the "Remote Desktop Connection" application (or
mstsc.exe), please make sure that "Printers" are enabled the Local Resources
tab.
2. If the local printer requires a driver that does not ship with Windows XP
Professional, you will need to manually install the driver on the remote
computer.

If the above two steps are done then when you connect to your office machine
you should see your client printer listed in the remote session.

For reference, please take a look at the following link. It has a small
section called "Printer Redirection".
