The objective of Print Magic is simple: print from your iPhone to one of your network's printers. The idea behind this $7 app from Wellala is just ambitious enough: print, one at a time, text or graphics that have been copied from another app, or Web pages, or photos. And though it's hard to be sure where the "magic" comes in, it may be in the fact that this app, unlike others that enable you to print from the iPhone, does not require any server software to be installed on a standalone Mac.

Print Magic does all of these things. The one thing you have to do on your Mac is make sure that Printer Sharing is enabled via the Sharing panel in System Preferences. Then you install the app on your iPhone (and you subsequently reboot your iPhone, per the instructions, and wait for about 30 seconds). At that point, the app can print to any printers you have on your network. In my case, Print Magic quickly recognized both my Brother HL-2140 laser printer and my Epson Stylus CX9400Fax inkjet, which are joined to my home network via a MacBook running Snow Leopard.
