Here's what you need to do--get a cheap switch like this (which is an internet splitter) and plug that into the airport. Then plug the PC and the printer into that.
If you have the airport connected directly to your cable modem, you're already set. The cable co will see the MAC address from the airport. You could add dozens of computers and it wouldn't know. The airport is acting as a router already, and distributing internal IP addresses to both your mac and PC (they probably all begin with something like 192.168.xxx.xxx or 10.xxx.xxx.xxx. Meanwhile, the IP address your Airport has is assigned by the cable co and will begin with some other number, not 192 or 10 (you should be able to confirm in the airport admin utitility or in your networking preferences)

Awesome. Then I can plub my other printer too -- HP 2600n -- and have two printers and 1 pc on the ethernet and slap something else in the USB.
Thanks.
ETA:
Only problem is that reviews have called it a power hog. Might be a deal-breaker on the overloaded circuits in my house.
I used to have a Samsung printer that you couldn't use when you had the air conditioning on.
