WDS/printer setup question

I am responsible for the computers at a small school and am considering purchasing equipment to do the following. Can anyone tell me if this will work?

Airport Extreme 1 (connected to school's internet connection, setup as WDS main station)
Airport Extreme 2 (setup as WDS remote station, Brother laser printer connected to USB port)

If I do the above, will people that are wirelessly connected to Airport 1 be able to print to the printer connected to Airport 2? What about Windows computers? (Most users have Macs but some have PCs)

Would the printer drivers need to be stored on Airport 2 or on the user's computer? (Or on both Airports?) We have many users and visitors and I'm hoping to avoid having to install print drivers on everyone's computers...

Thanks very much!
