what needs to be added is PostScript and RAW support over TCP, that will allow printing to most network printers and even RIP servers over TCP sockets.
there's probably no good way to support printing to non-network printers that are just being shared by a desktop though, unless the desktop sharing is assigning the printer an IP address, or the printer natively supports PostScript, but the latter would require Android to support NetBIOS, which is just a pain. hopefully this is something the Android team will look into though, as the ability to print would be tremendously handy.
