    Well basically I just hooked it into my airport express while I was connected to it and tried to print through it and it didn't work, probably a noob move on my part and I will probably have to do something else right?

    Do you get any errors? Or do you see the printer, click print, and nothing comes out?

    I went to my document I needed to print, I pressed print, it gave me the option for the epson (as usual) then I clicked print, then the epson program gave me an error saying that I could not print

    I have my RX500 hooked up through airport express and have not had any trouble since I first installed. It was just plug and play. have you checked the Airport setup utility and made sure that printers are turned on?

    The printer is turned on, I know that, I am pretty sure I am connected to my airport express. I am connected to my home network from our router, is airport express supposed to set its own network?

    In the airport utility, under "manual setup" is a 'printers' tab. if the printer is hooked up and turned on, it should show there. from that control window you may be able to turn on printer communication.
