Is there any printing applications for the N900?

Thanks

Nope. There's plenty of space in /opt, hopefully someone packages cups and a viewer program with printing...

Wouldn't that require usb host mode (or usb-otg) to connect to the printer, which the n900 supposedly doesn't have?

Not if you have a network printer.

Just needs to support lpr to talk to the home networked colour laser printer. Postscript or hppl I don't care which.

Yea I meant a network printer.

Bluetooth is another possibility, though network just seems easier to me (and doesn't require buying an extra module for my printer...)

Thanks. I do really hope for cups!!

Same here. When I first heard about the N900/Maemo one of the first things I thought about was how cool it would be to be able to print directly from the phone to my bluetooth-enabled battery-powered portable printer.

I would hope it at least supports bluetooth. Some printers support bluetooth printing (the Kodak polaroid I believe is one of them) where I believe you just send a picture file over bluetooth and they have a certain amount of logic to translate and print it.
