Remote control s/w that allows printing back to the remote site

Hi,

I need to set-up a vpn to another office to allow a user access to a database application and would like to configure printing so they can print to a printer in their own office i.e. the remote office.  I don't want to spend a lot of money on this so Terminal Services or Citrix isn't feasible.  Any suggestions for a low cost app like PCAnywhere but with print to remote capabilities?

Thanks

Remote Desktop is Free in XP..
What OS is this database application running on?
