The printer is setup as a local printer therefore it does not need access to internet to access the local network printer. Once the new workstation is given access to the terminal server used for the printer, it will not need to connect on the internet to print. Now, if the workstation is not able to access the internet it could be potentially due to incorrect configuration of DNS to the workstation or actual issue is within the ISP.
