I guess the obvious question is what type ( and size - no. of pages) of 
documents will users print? This will influence what options are 
reasonable. Another issue is are they stationary when they are working 
such as at a client's office all day(s) or they constantly moving during 
the day - my concern is weight and size. For the former you might get by 
with a small, cheap inkjet printer readily available at Walmart in the 
US. For the latter, I do not have any good ideas particularly if it must 
be battery powered.

Option two is to create and email a pdf document.
