Strictly Personal

Ever since I hooked up my Network printer, I have been in love with wireless printing. Sitting in the living room and hearing your printer print in the office is an incredible feeling. I have grown up in an era of fingers-crossed printing where you hope everything works, that all the wires are plugged, all the drivers installed and that there is enough ink. Having it so simple now is easy to get used but still carries a certain magic.

So, asking for a iPhone printing feature is liking for a car with awesome rims. I don’t need it but it sure would be nice. I guess one of those obstacles is the amount of drivers one would need to install for all of the wireless printers out there.

Then there is the question whether one needs it in the first place. I print electronic receipts, especially from sites that don’t send you an email. To do lists and Photo-related apps could also use a print feature. You could always send it to your computer and then print from there but that feels like a waste of time. (Here is clever tip that uses email to create a network-like print option from an iPhone.)

P.S. If you don’t print photos at home, get a laserjet. I never have to worry about ink, not for another year at least.
