Printing from iPad, iPhone - An article to share

Here are some suggestion if you are interested in printing remotely from your iPhone or iPad.  It's a 'wish-list' feature that some people are watching.  Apple's AirPrint for now only prints to certain models of HP, but as suggested from the article, try Google's Cloud Print.  "Justin Yu, an associate editor at CNet, a technology Web site, recommended a few models at varying prices: the multifunction Canon Pixma MX870 (about $150), Epson’s Workforce 520 ($90) or H.P.’s Officejet 6500A ($75)."  is another venue to check out. 

I would just remind everybody to access the printing cost for ink and estimate the volume of printing before deciding on the model to buy.  Inks are so expensive, and I totally feel for that.  A lot of times, I'd rather go to Costco or Walgreens for print jobs when they have print specials and it's much cheaper than ordering new inks for a project.
