I have heard that there are some hurdles as far as printing Access reports
via TS since the data will still need to come over the wire. What are the
available options for printing with TS since many of the users will be
connected over the WAN with extremely low bandwith? Thanks

TS users can be configured to have any default printer on the
network. Often, it is convenient to have them configured by default
to use a printer close to where they are working, rather than
a printer close to the server, which may be 100s of miles away.

Raw printer files are the same size as raw screen files. A report
which is only one page long may take in the order of the same amount
of time as a full screen refresh. If this is to long, you may
wish to consider simplifying your reports.
