Default Storm2 Printing

So I did a search but didn't really find an answer. Can a printer be set up on the S2 over WiFi? It would be cool to be able to open a PDF in my E-mail then just send it to a printer. Anyone know how to do this?

I use a program called TazzleIT to do this via BT. It works great, but it isn't free. Basically you have a program running in the BG on your PC, a small app running on your BB, and a BT/USB device inserted in to your PC. What's great about this for me is I use Macs exclusively, and TazzelIT works great using VMWare. So I just take the USB device out, pop it in my MBP at home, and voila... printing!

I dont think that would be a feature... That would have to be built into the OS i think to do it over WiFi.. BT, you can just send the picture to the printer.

Are you talking about networking your phone with your printer? if thats the case, I am not sure if it is possible.. Maybe some app can be made to do it, however I am not sure. I don't think the phone can recognize other devices on your network. Would be cool though..

you can do it using a software called remote print. its available in the crackberry store. works through WIFI.

you will need to install it on a pc first though thats the only drawback.

It never ceases to amaze me the things I learn from these forums. This is great!! I do keep some documents on my phone that I edit, etc. during the day and it would be so much easier to print directly from the Blackberry. Also saw in the reviews for the application recommended by karanveer that you can run the server app off a thumb drive. And it seems you can set up multiple connections.
ETA: You can also use this application to move files and folders from Blackberry to computer (don't know if it works the both ways, however). All-in-all pretty impressive functionality if printing from BB is important to you.
