I need to give remote access to 2 user

Okay here is the project that I have to take. I need to give access to 2 users in seperate locations. They need the ability to gain access to a program located in another office. The thing is the Boss does not want to spend any money on this project so I cannot purchase any software. They need the ability to print out forms in there own locations not at the office printers. I first tried LogMeIn and it did give me access but I could not print at my location and i needed to pay 99 a year for the right. If any one could give me any suggestions on what else I can try I would truly appreciate it.

It should be possible for free. I'll need one of the other experts to help me on this as I don't have any network experience.

First, to gain access to the machines - Use some remote access software. VNC works well and there is a simple free version. I'm wondering if a free version is going to be secure another for what you need. http://www.realvnc.com/download.html

Now for the printnig. Are these two offices on the same network? if so it would be pretty easy. You would just have to add a new printer on the machine you are accessing, give it the network share of the printers you want the documents to come out of (e.g. //OfficeA/FirstFloor/Printer). Then it would just be a case of going to whatever program you need to print from, press print, choose this new printer and you're done.

If you have some network admins in your office, have a chat with them. They might be able to help you with the printer sharing business.
