RDS & network printers best practices

We are in the process of designing a multi site remote desktop solution for a customer, they have around 80 users with 5-10 users per site. I've been searching for some recommendations about the best way to deploy their network printers.

The RDS farm is located in a single site, the other remote sites will not have a local server. Traditionally we've used site-site VPN's and just set the printers up as network printers on a central file/print server. Doing this works but you lose the benefits of Easy Print and potentially we may struggle with bandwidth at some sites.

Is there a better way to do this?  One train of thought is to add the printers locally to the thin clients, then use individual printer redirection so that it utilises Easy Print. This seems to work but from a management point of view it's pretty unfriendly.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks
