Have you ever gotten an email on your iPhone and wanted to print it off to your wireless printer? Honestly, I can't remember the last time I wanted to print an email, let alone from my phone, but I certainly wouldn't mind having the ability to print something off from my iPhone, which may be a possibility in the future.

After decrypting the iPhone 2.0 software, a directory has been discovered with the name “Printers.” I can't really think of many good uses for such a directory, aside from storing printer drivers. Also discovered was a list of supported Bluetooth headsets, of which a few are listed below.

  • Parrot CK3100
  • SouthWing SH310
  • Samsung WEP170
  • Motorola T305
  • Motorola S705
  • Motorola HS850
  • Motorola H500
  • Samsung WEP200
  • Plantronics 320
  • Plantronics 640
  • Plantronics Voyager 510
  • Jabra BT250v
  • Jawbone

Yes! I have a wireless printer at home, and I find myself checking email all the time from my iPhone 3G just because it’s quick to do so. I often print long emails that I either want to read on paper or file.

I would love to print the iPhone calendar in monthly mode, for easier viewing in a meeting or for handing off.

This isn’t supported already? I thought I read something about this already. Printing from your cell would be really useful. I can already picture myself printing out something for work after mapping the phone to the network printer. Awesome! I’ll look into this more. Thanks!
