Multiple Printers on AirPort Express 802.11n

I know the literature on the OLD airport express said that you could not connect multiple printers via a USB hub. Is this possible on the new version, released 3/17/08?

It would really be outstanding...

Also, any Apple techs out there know why we don't see airtunes on the Extreme Base Stations or Time Capsule?

Thanks.

I don't think airtunes is a product feature of the Extreme base stations or time capsule. I think Airport Express was designed with this functionality in mind...

I can't speak for Time Capsule, coz I don't own one. But I own three gigabit ethernet Extreme base stations, and know all of them lack any kind of audio out jack...

If you are running to an A/V system, Apple TV is much cooler for streaming music, IMHO...

I just bought an AXP at a local Apple Store. While there, I was told multiple printers would work, wouldn't work, not to try it and that it might work by several different employees. I bought it since I could try it and exchange it for an AXT if it didn't do this properly.
I now have an Epson 2200 and a Brother MFC 9700 connected and printing perfectly. They both show up as Bonjour printers. The only problem I had was adding the 2200 to one of our computers. For some reason I kept getting errors at first. Then I hit the Auto Select button for the drivers and it added properly. I don't know why this happened, since I used the default all along, there you go.
