I noticed in the manifest description that there is no way to access a print device:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Apps/Manifest
A number of apps are available in Android that allow printing, not just cloud printing but the ability to use CUPS, etc.
I know that Gonk is mostly hands-off, but I think the ability to print (preferably via wifi) would be a very useful feature. Has there been any discussion about that?
Apologize for the newbie question. I was just considering working on a very simple word-procesing program as my first app, but I don't see how I could do that and make it intuitive and easy for the user to setup or use local printers.
Everything else looks awesome so far!
Thanks,
Gary
