Hello. I recently bought a second airport express base station for travelling but since I am currently nowhere exotic I thought I might add it to my current home network which consists of an O2 wireless router supplied by our dear friends at Telefonica and an airport express base station downstairs used for both extending the wireless network signal from the O2 box and airtunes/airplay (whatever they call it nowadays). I have added the second airport express base station upstairs quite close to the iMac I use and diverted the printer's usb cable from the iMac to the new airport express. I followed the idiot's walkthrough setup that airport utility took me along. However, I cannot get the printer to work. I know these things are not always so plug and play as one expects so forgive my apparent naiveté. After that long preamble, the gist of my query is: can I use the second airport express base station to both extend the wireless network thereby improving its overall realiability and at the same time use it so that multiple machines can print wirelessly from around the house or are the two mutually exclusive? If it is possible to use it to both extend the network and print wirelessly, how do I sort the printer bit out?
Thanks.
