Print from your iPhone to a printer connected to your PC

http://readdle.com
In case you don't have an airprint enabled printer you still can print from the iPhone by installing the printer pro desktop helper on the computer that is connected to the printer (and has the printer drivers installed). Then get Readdle's printer pro lite to test your setup, and if it works you can purchase Printer Pro in the App Store. Remember the computer connected to the printer needs to be on (and on the same network) when you want to print from the iPhone.
