Print to iPod/iPhone touch via FileMagnet and Automator

You can also see this hint that uses a similar automator workflow in the PDF services to print directly over wifi (rather than waiting for a sync). It works with "air sharing" or other iPod Touch/iPhone software that mounts it as a drive over wifi.

Had not seen the Air Sharing hint before now, but it would not have made much difference for my hint, since it was submitted in August ;-)

This app sounds nice. However, I assume that you must have a working connection between the Mac and the iPod/iPhone for it to work. This in turn requires the app to be running on the iPod/iPhone, I assume? If so, then the FileMagnet is smarter for this exact purpose - because here no active connection is required. Next time you start FileMagnet on the iPod/iPhone, it syncs with the Mac/PC having FileMagnet running.

But I'd like the ability to use the iPod/iPhone as a real drive w/o any software installed on the Mac.

Guess it could be made by printing to a folder on the Mac and then having this autosynced when the AirShared iPod/iPhone is available?
