I don't feel like buying any more printers. I told my daughter to attach the document she wanted to print to an email to me and I would see if I could print it. No problem. Will this always be true?

Question

Sorry. That should have been a heading and not the whole question. I am trying to figure out the question of iPad printing. If there was such a thing as a great little portable iPad printer maybe I would give my daughter one some day. But the printer I am using is working for me because I installed it as a network printer on my  wired network. It does have WiFi capabilities but it does not have the 'Air' thing.  It's an HP Officejet 4500 etc etc...My question is: will printing anything from her iPad always be as easy as she attaching a document to an email and mailing to herself on Yahoo which she can retrieve on any of 3 PCs in this house? I hope so - my computer budget is blown...
