In case you missed it among the 10,000+ iPhone apps on the App Store, HP has released an iPhone App called iPrint Photo that lets you print borderless 4"x6" (American standard) and 10 x 15cm (European standard) photos from your iPhone to an HP printer on the same Wi-Fi network.
All you need to do is launch the iPhone application, select the photo from your iPhone's camera roll and tap "Print" to print the photo on your HP inkjet printer (for the first time you need to select the desired printer from the list of available printers).
HP's iPhone App makes use of Apple’s Bonjour technology to locate HP printers with Wi-Fi support making it very easy to print wirelessly from your iPhone (or iPod Touch).
Some of the features of iPrint Photo are mentioned below:
- Quickly and easily print compelling, borderless 4x6 / 10x15 cm photos anywhere/anytime from an iPhone or iPod Touch to an HP Inkjet printer connected to a local WiFi* network.
- Easily and effortlessly wirelessly print photos through a print interface developed and optimized by HP
- Get improved print quality from image de-noise filtering technology
- Enjoy full compatibility with Apple’s Bonjour technology, which automatically identifies HP wireless printers or other supported HP printers available on the network.
- HP iPrint Photo is compatible with industry-standard Wi-Fi environments, including Apple Airport, Linksys, D-Link and Netgear.
So if you have an HP inkjet printer with Wi-Fi support then you can download iPrint Photo for free directly using iTunes link.

Finally, HP releases this. I wanted to be able to print so badly from my iPhone – even my old FREE Sony Ericsson could print to my hp by Bluetooth. Can't wait to go home and try it out. And yes I know that all sounds quite sarcastic, but I fully mean it.
This would be a pretty useful app for me if i could get it to work.
I have a 3G iphone and Vista with a HP printer connected via USB and is compatible according to the HP website.
I've enabled printer sharing in Vista but my iphone dose not detect any available printers when I try to print from it.
Any ideas anyone?
Very cool, just downloaded the app. When you launch it, it auto detects your printer, just hit print. Using an HP 7260 all-in-one with wifi. One issue, it cuts off the outer 1/8" of the picture. trying to see if there is a way to change this.
I can't get it to find my printer either. I have XP and an eligible printer. HP couldn't help me. Any ideas?
Someone on another board wrote this. It helped me:
You have to make sure it is available on the wifi network. So if your printer has wifi capablities it is simple, just make sure the wifi is on. If it is not, I believe you have to have it available via bonjor with the computer on.
Getting camera phone photos out of the phone and into another medium has been a big pain. Glad to see HP innovating to provide a simple way to get photos out of the phone and onto a physical medium that you can share.
Might I suggest also checking out Picwing Prints? It’s another way to automatically print and mail your iphone photos to those closest to you, without requiring an HP wireless printer: http://www.picwing.com/
