Have no idea of UAs plans, but is theoretically possible to have it printed at stations that might be in certain spots throughout the airport (or maybe using the existing gate printers?). Apple does this in stores - they check people out on an iPhone and can print receipts at printers located in a few spots throughout a given store (printers are hidden under the tables). Perhaps they could use a modification of this kind of system.
