Just found this out...
I paired my BB w/a BT printer I have (HP 995c).
I noticed that it's services included "Serial Port" and "OBEX Push."
So I went to media, went to pictures, and selected an image. Pressed the BB key and selected "Send using Bluetooth."
Badda bing, badda boom, the printer wakes up and prints out the picture!
It printed out 5 1/4" x 4" centered on the 8 1/2 x 11 page.
Had no idea I could do that natively with the Pearl OS. Kinda cool.
Checked out email and saved and printed a JPG attachment (I would assume any image type would work), but no go with an attached spreadsheet. I can save attached PPT slides to JPGs and print them as well (same size as the photos print). Didn't have a Word doc attachment to try, but suspect that may be the same as the Excel spreadsheet.
