remote desktop never recognize my local printer?

HI all,

I installed a Brother printer in office(hereafter I call PC O), and now I am
remotely connecting back to my home(hereafter I call it PC H).

On PC O, the printer was installed in a local LAN peer-to-peer printing
mode, using LPR protocol.

The remote desktop does not recognize this printer at all - on the PC H,
when I want to print, actually I want it to print to this Brother printer on
PC O. But it never had this option in the scroll-down list of the printer
list.

Is there a way I can let the remote PC H know that it should print via PC O
to the Brother printer in my office?

What's wrong with remote desktop?

Do I need to install a virtual network printer on PC H, in order to use it
to print to Brother printer in office? Since it was installed as
peer-to-peer printing using LPR protocol, I am not sure how to install a
printer driver on PC H for this Brother printer in my office...

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot
