Microsoft Adds Printing to Office for iPad Apps

Microsoft has added printing support and a few new features to its suite of Office apps for iPad, just a few weeks after the apps first landed in the Apple App Store.

When the three freemium apps launched last month, the ability to print documents was a glaring omission from the apps' functionality. But Microsoft announced on Tuesday that it's now possible to print via the Word, Excel and PowerPoint for iPad apps to an AirPrint printer. (Various Wi-Fi-enabled printers support Apple's AirPrint software, which is compatible with the iPad and iPhone).
