Nope. There's plenty of space in /opt, hopefully someone packages cups and a viewer program with printing...

Wouldn't that require usb host mode (or usb-otg) to connect to the printer, which the n900 supposedly doesn't have?

Yea I meant a network printer.
Bluetooth is another possibility, though network just seems easier to me (and doesn't require buying an extra module for my printer...)

I would hope it at least supports bluetooth. Some printers support bluetooth printing (the Kodak polaroid I believe is one of them) where I believe you just send a picture file over bluetooth and they have a certain amount of logic to translate and print it.
Thanks
