I love the new design of the airport express and the added features but I think they missed a good opportunity to increase AirPrint usability. On the back is a USB port where any connected printer becomes wireless. However why doesn't it make it AirPrint capable also. How fantastic would it be to be able to take any printer you want and plug it in to make it available to all macs, pcs, and iOS devices. Just my opinion.

Yeah, honestly, it's pretty stupid that it doesn't work that way.

You can hook any printer up to an Airport Extreme or a Mac and print wirelessly from any Mac in the house. Why can't they adapt they to AirPrint?
