Did you know if you have a wireless printer, there’s probably an app for that?

Today Epson announced the availability of its new iPhone app for its Ethernet or wireless printers which seems eminently useful. It lets you print right from an iPod Touch/iPhone straight to the printer via Wi-Fi skipping the stop at the computer, because well, these are computers. The app is called “Epson iPrint” and is free. It is available in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and Portuguese. And not only that, but it turns out that the other printer manufacturers have one too.

HP iPrint is on its second version and it lets you print different size photos as well as to plain paper. Set up is easy and the app will set you up automatically. The app automatically defaults to the photo tray if yours is set up. In version 2.0 you can crop and rotate with pinch and drag, and with the iPhone camera, you can take a shot and have it automatically print out at your printer. Wow and I thought you’d have to mail pictures to grandma or email them to her new Kodak PULSE digital picture frame. This is an easy way to have your prints waiting when you get home. One greatly missing feature is the ability to print anything other than photos. We would love to have emails printed out or documents or letters.

Kodak goes one better with its Kodak Pic Flick app. It not only lets you print photos wirelessly to a Kodak All in One ESP 5250 but also lets you send them to any Kodak Easyshare wireless digital picture frame. Of course the huge complaint is that the ESP 5250 is the only wireless printer from Kodak this works on, so if that is not what you have, you too will have to pay.

For a fully featured print app, that works with a myriad of wireless printers and prints everything costs money. The best rated (four stars) on the iTunes store is called Print Magic and costs $6.99, not much in the grand scheme of things. Once you have located your printer, you even get a free test print.

And did you know that even if you don’t have an internet connection, there is a product for you. It is called an HP Printing Mailbox and Presto service. It is billed as a way to share email with the over 70 crowd that just will not use a computer. It cost $130 on Amazon, but only $74 on the Presto web site. This product uses a dial up connection and the user is charged $149 a year for service. The machine automatically dials in to download email and the prints it out. That is both emails and photos. Not exactly free, but better than a Comcast bill for a non Internet user.
