not been my experience. But if as you say SG, then it should be working, but
is not.

So if the above is true, then one or both of the above conditions are not
true.

a route print from before a VPN conneciton and a route print durring a VPN
connection would then be illuminating.

Right, but that's what it would entail to use LAN printer concurrent
with a RRAS VPN connection. Without it, the remote client route is
to the default gateway which is the VPN connection to the SBS
server. Without a route back to the remote LAN it won't get to the
printer.

Split tunnel VPN. Yikes. There are some pretty good write ups on
this and you might find the explanation here acceptable.

If they are in an "office" other than a home office, you might want
to configure a site-to-site VPN rather than risk a split tunnel
VPN. --
