I have the airport express, but non of the software to set it up to use with my printer and stereo. is there somewhere i can download it? where and how? i read about some assistant you need to help set it up. I have a G3 ibook and the new update firmware from apple won't work on my OS. Any help much appreciated. thank you
 
Alright you will have to retype that so that I can understand it. As I don't really know what the problem is. (new firmware and Mac OS doesn't work? Drivers for your stereo?)

Anway , I have set up an Airport Express before and I'll tell you what I can.
First you want to use the Airport Setup Guide (applications>Utilities folder). Going through that you can get your network up and going. Setting up a printer requires you plug the printer into the Airport Express USB port, and activate the printer from a remote computer.

As for using your stereo you need to plug cables (RCA line-out cable) into your stereo and then the mini jack part into the airport express. Select the port you plugged into on your stereo, and then with iTunes>preferences>advanced>general select Look for Remote Speakers. Activate this and close the preferences in the bottom right of the window use the pop-up menu to select your airport express and hit play.

Hope that helps. If not rephrase your question.
