Airport Extreme ?

This question is for any members that have the Airport Extreme 
Basestation.

I was wondering about wireless printing.

Currently in our household we have 3 iBooks and a 400Mhz iMac, all with 
Airport cards and all sharing the cable Internet connection.
The problem is that the printer (HP950xi) is in the computer room and 
not hooked up to any computer.
I'm located in the computer room but I don't like the printer hooked up 
to my iBook because I use it so infrequently.
So whenever the kids need to print out homework, they have to come into 
the computer room, hook up their iBooks, then printout.

I've tried the USB printer sharing with mixed results. Sometimes it 
worked, sometimes it didn't and whatever computer it was hooked to had 
to be on all the time.

Airport Extreme seems perfect for my needs.
Can anyone tell me their experiences? Pros, Cons?

thanks

Bill
