How can I print from my windows 8 pc to my printer using my 2nd g express?

I have an hp deskjet 1055. It's just a USB printer how can I print from windows to my printer connected to my 2gen airport express? If it only works with airprint printers than why is there belkin routers that can work with any printer?

About all that you can do now is check with HP to see if there are any updated drivers or revisions for your printer that you could download and install.


Not sure if you were aware or not that even if you can get the print function to work, other advanced functions like maintenance, scan, copy, etc will not be supported when the HP device is connected to the AirPort Express.

Figured it out. To print wirelessly via airport express 2nd generation you have to do some things. Download the bonjour printer thing mentioned above and have the printer plugged in to the airport express. Then run the bonjour printer thing and select your connected printer and install. Where I went wrong was I tried to print from my hp printer (1). When you install a printer with bonjour to print wirelessly it installs the same printer (2) so it's like there's 2 different printers in word or whatever you use to print. You have to select the one that says ready. Thanks for everyone's help
