iPhone OS 4 set to bring printing to iPad, iPhone?

What about PrintCentral? http://itunes.apple.com/app/printcentral-for-all-your/id363371015?mt=8

There's actually a quite handy free app called Cortado Workplace (www.cortado.com/workplace) that already enables iphones and ipads to print just about everything.
Simply log into a WiFi and let it discover the printers on there. Works with just about any printer. I love it!

Call me skeptical, but I don't ever see this happening. Not now, not 5.0, not 6.0.

Printing needs to get a lot simpler. Bonjour brought us closer, but it's imperfect.

I don't forsee printers as they currently exist accessible natively to the iPhone, ever. (Certainly not within the next 5 to 10 years...)

I just use the print share app. So mine already does this.

I can guarantee you Apple will never in a million years take printers with parallel ports into consideration for any kind of feature. No Apple product has ever had support for this port as far as I know, all ports of that era (ADB, serial ports, SCSI ...) witch the Macs did have were abandoned by Apple in 1998 and does any PC even have it still now days? When I sold PC peripherals a couple of years ago people often asked about the Parallel to USB adapter and the answer was always the same: buy a new printer instead and save money.

Printing with iPad would work over WiFi. There are lots of printers with built-in WiFi but as long as the printer is network connected in any way to the same network, it will be accesible via WiFi. And those with only USB can easily be shared over WiFi via a computer or router acting print server.

I honestly don't understand why anyone would want a printing feature in the iPad. I see iPad as the ultimate "paper killer" we've all waited for. I can see myself printing documents from my computer to my iPad in digital form (PDF), but why then print from iPad to a physical sheet of paper?

I hope Apple does not include Printing Support, or at least doesn't make it a big feature. That seems like such a waste of an update.

Who said anything about USB? The post specifically states, "So how would your iPhone or iPad connect to a printer? The most likely ways would be via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi."

This would be cool and all, but I am still waiting for iTunes syncing over wifi. Printing would be useful but wireless syncing would be 100x more useful then printing.

Yes, but I would think Apple would need to extend it to other apps, such as Mail, Safari, and Photos, for it to be accepted by most as a legit printing solution for the iPad.
