Hi,
Please verify the printer driver is compatible with Windows 7. You can download the windows 7 driver on:

Also please refer this article:
Printers that use ports that do not begin with
COM, LPT, or USB are not redirected in a remote desktop or a terminal services session
When you use Remote Desktop Connection or the Terminal Services Client version 4.0, 5.0 or 6.0 to connect to another Windows-based computer from a computer, your
local printers are not redirected. As a result, your local printers are not available in the remote desktop or terminal services session.
You can use this KB methods to fix your problem.
Hope that helps.
