I think the normal printing APIs will accomplish this, using AirPrint. http://developer.apple.com/library/IOs/documentation/2DDrawing/Conceptual/DrawingPrintingiOS/Printing/Printing.html

In addition, there's a great app called Printopia that allows your Mac to serve as an AirPrint host: http://www.ecamm.com/mac/printopia/
