Pogoplug owners can look out for a brand new and very useful feature today: printing support.

To be packaged within a firmware update rolling out between today and the end of this week, users will be able to print from any Internet-enabled device. Take note that includes iPhone OS and Android-powered devices.

One of the catches is that users must connect the Pogoplug to an HP or Epson printer made since 2005 via USB, or use a printer already set up on the network.

Pogoplug has been on a roll when it comes to new features and products lately. Following the announcement of its wireless USB adapter earlier this month, the company has also just commenced shipping the Pogoplug Biz, which (obviously) is designed for businesses and based on the original Pogoplug with some new savvy features.
