Has anyone found an app that enables the nexus 7 to print emails, documents, etc?

Google Cloud Print? I had used it on my phone, haven't tried it on the N7. If you don't have a Cloud Print-enabled printer, you have to install Chrome on the computer that the printer is attached to, and a "software connector". Then there are any of several Android apps that will let you print to the Cloud Print-connected printer.
See:

Good response!

I have Cloud Print, EasyPrint, and PrinterShare on my Nexus 7, and they all work well. I tend to like Cloud Print the best, but that's just personal preference. Of course, the computer that the printer is attached to must be on, unless you have a Google Cloud Print Ready printer, as DavdEBSmith stated.

If you don't want to use Google Cloud Printing, and you have a WiFi enabled printer, then PrinterShare will work, and I'm sure there are other apps that will do the same.

If you have an HP ePrint-enabled printer, then you can also use HP ePrint Home & Biz.

I was actually just about to say I have a wireless HP printer and the HP print app works flawlessly. It located the printer on my network and allowed me to print doccuments with no problems.
 
PrinterShare was the free app of the day on Amazon's app store recently so I installed it, it found my Samsung wireless printer after a couple of attempts (maybe because I'd only just switched it on), when I needed to print a bank statement a couple of days ago I downloaded the PDF, opened it with PrinterShare and it printed perfectly without a fuss. I don't print much so that's all the use it has had so far, and I haven't yet tried anything else to compare it with.

Thanks for all of the responses. I tested a few and they all pretty much worked. I decided to stick with cloud print and even went products with that app. Thanks again.
