Print - Printing for Contact, Web Pages, Photos & More

Print out a contact, or photo, or web page. "& More?" Not so much.
The iPhone can't print. But this utility adds that functionality... sort of. You can only print a contact, photo, or web page; forget email, calendars, or other files. Worst of all, the app requires you to run a utility on a computer; all print jobs are sent over Wi-Fi to that Mac or PC. If you're printing from the iPhone but still need to use a computer, why are you printing from the phone at all? This app sounds like one hand clapping.
Should you proceed, you'll hit more restrictions. You can only print a single contact or photo at once, and you'll have no control over the output; you can't choose a typeface, type size, or the size of a printed image. Web pages must also be printed from the utility's integrated browser and not from Safari. The browser has a bookmarks section but doesn't tap into your existing bookmarks, so you'll have enter web addresses manually each time.
Print is hobbled by its need for a nearby computer in order to
function. Given its extremely limited printing options, you should just
print from the computer.
