Share a printer through Apple TV?

No, sorry. The USB port on the Apple TV is purely for diagnostic purposes.

That sucks. What sort of diagnostics are people doing with this USB port? Seems like a waste of a port.

I don't think Apple's made it clear what kind of diagnostics the port is intended for, nor have they implied it's for the user's use. I think their story is that it's for them to use if they have to diagnose a faulty unit. Personally, I think it's really for possible future expansion but they don't want people pestering them about it, so they say it's for "diagnostics". Either that, or it's for diagnostics.

As far as your plan for using the TV as a source for remote speakers, that will only work if you have a TV hooked up to it, under the current TV software. Maybe you do plan to connect your TV to it, but that's unclear from your post. The current software version 'pulls' the music to the device based on choices presented on your TV screen, unlike the Airport Express where you 'push' the music to it from your computer. Without the TV, you wouldn't be able to see what you were doing to control music with the TV. The 'Take 2' software may change this, as some screen shots show that it will have some function described as 'Airtunes', but so far I don't think we know exactly how that will work. Should find out any day now, though.
