Mobile devices typically don't have printers. It makes them much harder to carry.

window.print only works in Mobile Safari, not in an embedded UIWebView. You will need a plugin for this. Do a search for print in the group.

There is an example how in the Groups, I had a link to it (you'll have to find it). Then create one yourself - if no one steps forward.
If there was one, most likely its in the Plugins repo http://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugins
