AirportExtreme wifi with printer

I have an AirportExtreme for wifi connecting my MacBook to AppleTV well, plus acting as he wifi network for the occasionally PC or lap top. I want to connect the printer and share it by wife wifi. Instructions look simple, but I am missing the network component where printing will be available. Any advice?

on a more serious note, I would think you can share anything over a mac wifi network that you can over a physical network. ie: make sure that sharing is allowed for the local resources you want to share.

[I don't have a mac, but macs tend to make sense]

It is i...

Just get a USB hub... plug it into the AP Extreme.. and connect all your external hardware (printers, external HD, etc) to the hub... and you're done. Go to Printer Setup and you should be able to see your printer on the list. Hope this helps.
