    Question: AirPort Express connects via Ethernet to my third-party router, and I have plugged a compatible USB printer into AirPort Express. Will it share the printer with my non-Apple computers, too?

    Answer: AirPort Express acts as a print server for any Mac OS X 10.2 or later, Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP computer that is on the same subnet, regardless of whether the third-party router is wired or wireless.

    Question: Can I connect a USB hub to AirPort Express so that I can access my printer, scanner, and USB modem at once?
