Found Solution to having Canon Printers be compatible with Microsoft's Remote Desktop

This was not the magic solution in in my case. Here are the steps I used to
gain Canon RDP functionality.

Computer local to printer:
- Install drives, verify it works
- Share printer
- At command prompt, run: `net use lpt1: \\<local computer>\\<printer>`

Remote computer:
- Download Canon driver INF package to temporary directory, extract.
- Add Printer => Local printer -> TSCLIENT(LPT1 <local computer>)
- Select 'Have Disk' when it asks for driver. Navigate to the INF file in
the directory of Canon drivers you extracted
- Select appropriate printer
- Print test page

Worked for me!
