You want an annotation package and mget().

Say your chip is the hgu133plus2, and you have a vector of probe ids 
called 'prbs'.

library(hgu133plus2.db) #use biocLite() to get it if necessary.
symb <- mget(prbs, hgu133plus2SYMBOL)

will give you a list of gene symbols for each probe id. You can see all 
the mappings available by typing hgu133plus2().

Alternatively, you can use probes2table() in affycoretools to output 
either text or HTML tables.

Best,

Jim
