I'm pretty sure the answer is "no" since printer manufacturers haven't yet started making drivers for Android (or iPhone).

I guess I'm just curious if anyone has heard anything about this and if/when it will become a reality. (or perhaps if it already is, and I'm just oblivious to it?)

That is a great question. I went looking for that functionality back in the spring but only found apps that would let you print to wifi enabled printers.

I just looked again and came across PrinterShare, which looks pretty cool. Apparently you can print to a wifi printer, or with software installed on a local pc you can print over the internet to the attached printer. I haven't had a chance to try it out yet and it looks a little pricey but seems promising.

More of Google's products are now implementing the Google Cloud Printing service. Read more on that on the official google mobile blog: http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2011/01/cloud-printing-on-go.html

That might become an option to print from the Android phone in the coming months.

At least one manufacturer has tried to address this issue with an Andoid app. Samsung has an app named Samsung MobilePrint that works for Samsung wireless and networked printers.

Samsung MobilePrint

Only Samsung branded printers supported.
