I'm thinkingh of getting a yun because of all the cool features it has, but I don't really know what I can do with it, any ideas?

The Yun can handle a wireless printer, but not a USB printer. But dtsartsanis is right about Raspberry Pi being less expensive. Clem

Hi Daniel,

Great! Share your experiences with us. It is too early to say, but given that it has Ethernet, WiFi, micro-SD card slot, host USB and can run OpenWRT, you can prsumably convert it into a wireless router which changes configuration by interacting with the real world around it using the Arduino interface I/O. Endless possibilities, in my opinion!

I would imagine that coupling the Yun with Ben Heck's 3d printer in a briefcase that would make one awesome wireless printer.

Yes, that is agreat idea, too. You can make a wireless print server and possibly connect two printers through it, one on Ethernet and another on USB.

I dont think it is so easy to connect printers to Yun and start using it as a print server. You can achieve that with a Raspberry Pi it is cheaper and easier.
