I've been considering adding an Airport Express to my local network based on my Airport Extreme (white spaceship) Base Station. I've now purchased Glenn's book "Airport 802.11n Airport Network, and discovered this sentence on page 28:
"The Express N also has a USB port for sharing a single printer, but it can’t share multiple printers or a hard drive. ".
Since my intent was to use a powered USB hub with the Airport Express to drive two printers and possibly one scanner, the sentence is a blow to my plans.
Have I mis-read the book? I do know that the Express has only one USB port. This seems to negate my plan unless a powered hub can be used.
Comments, please.

I have two WiFi printers that I bought in February: the Samsung CLP
310 color laser and the Epson Artisan 800. Their function has been
flawless!

Re: AirPort Express Query
Airport Base Stations solve all sorts of problems. I am able to use
my old reliable HP 4MP (an Appletalk printer) by hooking it up
through an iPrint module to one of the ethernet ports on the Base
Station. The Airport Express doesn't do this sort of stuff. However,
it does serve as a spiffy music distribution system.

Re: AirPort Express Query
What is an iPrint module? I have an original LaserWriter that still runs, that I would love to hook up to my intel iMac. Is it even possible to do this?
