Remote Desktop Printers list

I connect a stand alone laptop from my home to a PC via
DSL LAN workgroup, when connected to the PC on the LAN I go to
start/settings/printers and noticed that in the list it includes my local
printers from my laptop and or that have been installed at one point.

Q: Is this so that I am able to print something from the PC to my local
printer via remote?

TIA

Sometimes. If the local printer is listed on your remote machine - what do
you think? Thought about opening
notepad/wordpad/word/excel/powerpoint/outlook/outlook express/etc and
printing something to try it?

Example for a google search...
