You probably can't do it straight from the Transformer- you usually have to install windows or mac software to the device you want to print from on those wireless printers. Check the "required hardware" on the box of the printer.... :-(

oh man really? ahhh looking into it further:

HOW TO PRINT FROM ANDROID TABLET AND OTHER ANDROID DEVICES | skdco.com

so i still need an active PC meaning:

tablet -> web -> pc -> printer? well its a solution non the less

so can this work with any wireless printer? or does wireless printing have different standards or something?

There is no standard for wireless printing. So the Printer manufacturers make some sort of program that sends the printjobs wireless from the PC to the printer. I have a Lexmark wireless which also scans to the PC without problems, I'll try with the Transformer when I'm home in a few weeks..
