You mean to tell me in its awesomeness WP 8.1 can't wirelessly print?!? My iPhone which could do nothing in a professional manner can do that. How was this over looked?

I'm just baffled as to how this is not native.
I don't know of any OS that does this natively. They all require an app. You have to go back to Windows Mobile iPAQs that had the HP print app onboard.
Android has the ability there but it requires addons for specific manufacturers.
Personally I think Windows rt and Windows phone along with a bunch of other Microsoft products need to be rebranded. Really Windows rt is just not Windows.i think they should call it surface OS or something like that. And maybe Windows phone should bare the name or be called Lumia os. Just a thought.Especially given Microsoft's vision for productivity being the differentiator this should have been on WP8 a long time ago. I just hope they replace Windows Phone with Windows RT. Windows RT has way more functionality built in (and I'd love to be able to swipe charms or multitasking in from the sides)
I just can't even understand how anything barring the name Windows does not have the ability to print.
Wireless printing isn't a basic function of a phone though, most people don't print from their phone.

My girlfriend and I have been printing from our iPhones for what feels like forever.
Then you both are in a minority of users, most don't even know that printing from a phone is possible.
You got statistics or just sprouting made up data?
