A checklist to bring into the store or specifications to bring to the shop.

A backup copy of directions you can glance at while driving. Yes, even some of those are becoming increasingly digital, but printing isn't dead, even if it is rarer. When you need to print, you need to print. Computers have been able to do so for years, but not the mobile devices increasingly pushing PCs aside for many tasks. Apple didn't offer printing until fall 2010, when iOS 4.2 introduced the driverless AirPrint technology. Very few devices supported it then, and today you'll find backing mostly in inkjet color printers, not so much the kinds of high-volume laser printers used in businesses large and small. ( Apple has a nice primer on which iOS devices and new printers support AirPrint natively, along with some troubleshooting tips.) A year ago, Apple eliminated the technical loophole that let apps print outside of the AirPrint protocol, forcing developers to support AirPrint and its accompanying printers.

Google's Android has no print support at all, and Google's Chrome OS goes through a clunky service called CloudPrint that uses your Windows PC or Mac as a print server - an inelegant approach implemented poorly by Google. For all intents and purposes, mobile printing today means iOS printing. The good news is that there are now several options to print from your iOS devices when on a Wi-Fi network - and one to print from Android devices.
