AirPort Extreme - Can I connect a printer and an external HDD at the same time?

Looking to add an Airport Extreme or Express to my home. Like the idea of using it to turn a printer into an AirPrint device. Saw where the Extreme can also serve as a external drive connection for a network.


My question: can you connect BOTH the printer and the external usb HDD?


thanks!

Yes, for the Extreme. The Express's USB port is only for printers.


Uses for the USB port of AirPort Time Capsule, AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express

It doesn't do that. If you want an AirPrint printer, you have to purchase an AirPrint printer.
