    also, the virtual machine prints fine when I plug the usb directly into the computer. I thought about just plugging it directly into the computer and not using airport express but then when I try and go back to print on the mac side, the mac doesn't see the printer!@@##@@#$%.

    You need to install Bonjour for Windows before any Windows installation will see a printer installed in an Airport Express.
