Working from Home and Remote Printer

I'm remoting in to our server to use Sage 300 CRE. I have a printer at home and I tried to install the printer on the server and redirect it so I can print checks.

However Server 2008 OS is not compatible with my HP Printer.  I'm told the server OS and my workstation OS has to be the same Windows Operating System. Is this true?

Is there a work around to this? The only thing I have been able to figure out is save to a PDF file then print from my work staton.

Thanks.
