I think it would be great for Apple to allow me to print via Bonjour to a printer attached to my Airport Extreme. I realize this would only help those who have a printer hooked up via the Airport Extreme's print router feature... but it sure seems like Apple could do this easily.
Got a tip for us?

Am I the only one that would like to be able to print via Bonjour?

Sounds like a nice idea. I hadn't thought about it, but it would be nice if was available. You should add it as a feature request to Apple.
Why couldn't it work with any router?
My printer is plugged into my Mac Pro which is plugged into a (non-Apple) router. People come over to my house with their laptops, get on my wi-fi network, and print from my printer.
It would be great if the iPhone could do the same, I agree.

Especially if the iPhone could access iDisk files from MobileMe or a similiar server setup. You could download a file you had put on the server, and print it on the spot without ever touching a computer! How great would that be, lol!
I would like this too, they should probably implement it into a few apps like pictures, safari, mail and notes. I really wanted to print a note the other day and it would have been nice to print from my iphone instead of sending myself an email. And I also think bonjour would be the best way to do this.
I'd think printer drivers on the iPhone would be the issue. But "printing" to a PDF then sending it down to the Mac would be essentially driverless.
