I'm a recent convert to Mac, so forgive me if I sound stupid. I am running a Power Book G4 12' and just set up an AirPort Express wireless connection in my apartment. Everything is working fine. I can connect to the net and print from anywhere in my apartment. I was wondering if I could, by using a USB hub, connect more than one USB device, such as my scanner, to the AirPort? Any input would be appreciated.

Apple says that you can hook up a printer and the griffin airclick (its a remote) ta one express. ive never tryed but ya might be able ta use more than one printer. no scanners work with the expess.

I was afraid that might be the case... Thanks for the input!

Closer than you think.
Your Mac's Specs

You can however get a bluetooth adapter for your scanner to allow wireless over bluetooth.

I don't know how good a bluetooth scanner would be to be honest. Scanners normally have quite a lot of data to pass and bluetooth is pretty low bandwidth. If you're used to using it via usb prepare to be slow!
