Hi Maurice,
 
Thank you for the reply!
 
I'm afraid that we are not able to accomplish this through the RWW feature.
Network printer redirection enables you to have network printers that are
installed on the local computer to be redirected in the Remote Desktop
session.
More info:

I understand that you want to print the contents to a remote printer which
is located in your home network. As you mentioned, you can establish the
VPN and print the contents through VPN.
 
If you do not want to establish the VPN tunnel, you need to statically open
the RPC ports to the internet. However, this is not recommended because
your home computer could be attacked. Another solution is to use the print
server. You can purchase a hardware print server or use a network printer
which has print server integrated. On the home network firewall, open the
TCP port for the print server so that you can print to your home computer
from the SBS network.

I hope the above information is useful. If you have any questions, please
feel free to let me know.
 
Have a nice day!
