Printing Access reports on another computer w/o Access

I have an Access system on a stand alone PC w/o a printer connected. What's
a good way to print an Access report using another computer that does not
have Access. I considered using the Microsoft Imaging Printer Driver & use
the MDI format as the intermediate format, but couldn't get it to work on the
destination - ran out of time too. When I have a chance to try again, I
thought I'd check on the MDI printer driver I read about somewhere. Any
ideas? Maybe saving as an RTF?

- Print or export the report to pdf format (use stephen lebans utility if
using Access2003 and earlier)
- get the pdf file to the computer with the printer
- open the pdf in adobe acrobat reader
- print the report

RTF is usually not that great.

Can we assume everyone has the Adobe Acrobat reader?
I'm not certain the destination PC does & it is on a very secure state
network where I don't have the option to download & install whatever I'd like.

Maybe the Adobe Acrobat Reader is built into IE now?
