Microsoft defines Printer redirection as
Printer redirection routes printing jobs from the terminal server or Remote Desktop computer to a printer attached to your local computer (also called the "client computer").

Use manual redirection when your local printer requires a driver that is not available on the version of Windows that is running on the remote computer.
