    If you use an express with a non-apple router you can only do wireless bridge.. and it must then use USB or ethernet to the printer.

     

    If you are trying to do this setup from XP computer you will have issues .. the latest express really needs a more recent version of the airport utility. Do you have iOS device if no mac is around.

     

    Tell us more.. I am just guessing you are trying to use wireless.

    What printer is it.. and using wireless or ethernet??
