By

Is printing directly from your iPhone or iPad in the cards for iPhone OS 4.0?

Well, maybe, although the evidence is pretty scant.
.
Check the support pages for iWorks, and you’ll find this little note on the subject: “Printing directly from iPad is not currently available.”

The operative word here is currently, and while we’re reading a lot into it, it does at least hint that Apple’s considering how to best go about bringing direct printing to its line of handheld devices… and give iPad and iPhone users one less reason to open up their laptops.

Like many questions about iPhone OS 4.0, we expect to know more about this at Apple’s corporate event on Thursday.
