Well you have several options. You can print them yourself, print them at a processing lab like walmart etc, print them at a local print shop, or you can become a member here and upload the prints they want to DPC Prints and then send them a link.
The advantage to the third choice is that a third party prints and ships the images for you. Other people could also see your images and order prints too.

That makes a difference. You won't be selling them the images most likely. There are several options but you will probably be licensing the images to them based on their expected distribution. If the agency that wants to procure your images is a professional enterprise that generates revenue from advertising then they should have figures for distribution (that's how they will convince their advertisers that they are worth the investment in an ad). Once you know how large a distribution they run you will need to determine for what period of time they can utilize your images. Now you have a decent basis for figuring out what to charge them. I'm not a source of information regarding industry rates but what I outlined above is a basic concept of how you might go about licensing the images to someone. Likewise if you don't want to have to follow up on the buyer and make sure that they are abiding by the guidelines of your contract (meaning they aren't using the images indefinitely or using them in some other publication that they own that is distributed world-wide as opposed to just a local or Canadian publication, then you may choose to sell them an unlimited distribution license that gives them the right to use the images forever under the name of the company that purchases the license, its subsidiaries, holding companies, or any subsequent business that owns the licensee.
I'd suggest that you contact a lawyer who has handled some cases regarding licensing of copyrighted material. You can probably find a quick list of lawyers or agents available in your area by posting a question to the Professional forum on FredMiranda.com.
BTW, Congrats on the pending sale.
