Currently my airport extreme is setup for internet access from an intel
iMac using the internal modem on a 56K dialup line. In future, I'd like
to connect a USB printer and add a PC laptop via an Ethernet cable. any
tips and tricks to help this go as easy as the initial setup with the
Mac was will be appreciated.

The subject of your post says Airport Express and the body says Airport
Extreme.

To add a USB printer connect it to the USB port on the Airport Extreme
base station.

You can find a compatibility list at

As for the PC laptop, connect it to the LAN ethernet port of the Airport
Extreme base station.

Install Bonjour for Windows so that you can access the printer.
