Does XP Require Both Clientside Extensions and pushprinterconnections?

from server 2008 sp2 can successfully distribute printers vista clients, not xp.  both oss have clientside extentions installed.  reading i've done seems indicate users have used pushprinterconnections handle xp clients.

i 'thought' use of clientside extensions 'solution' gpos xp couldn't understand , i assumed pushprinterconnections no longer needed. 

do need one, or both xp clients?
