Google Cloud Print comes to iPhone, Android via Gmail mobile website
At long last, Google has finally connected one of its apps to the much-anticipated Google Cloud Print service. You can now print from any mobile phone -- as long as it's Android 2.1 or iOS 3 or later -- to any printer that you have successfully connected to your Google Cloud Print account.The service only works via the Gmail mobile website for now -- just visit www.gmail.com on your phone -- but presumably Google could also activate it for desktop users. An updated Android app with Cloud Print integration must surely follow, too.
If you want to set up Google Cloud Print, check the Google FAQ -- or if you just want to see what it's like, check our hands-on review.

Wait.. since when is there a gmail app for the iphone?
The only thing I know about is the default mail app, and it certainly won't be getting Google Cloud Print...

@Matt Good catch! Fixed.

Just an FYI, you need to be running the beta version of Chrome to set up cloud print. If you go to google.com/cloudprint it will tell you down download Chrome version 9.x or above and give you a link.. the link downloads 8.x. You have to manually go to google.com/chrome and download the beta version for it to work.
That is unless I'm missing something, but that is what happened for me.

@erasei You also need a Windows PC, according to Google's Cloud Print website.

@ovi My tests were done with a Samsung 310 network printer! Works fine.
