Printers might probably be recognized but the kernel USB printer driver 
is disabled atm I think, so that would have to be added. However there 
are no specific usb printer drivers in the kernel as there are none 
there. Printers use userspace drivers. You would need to add cups and 
configure your printers there. Not to mention you would have to add
printer support to all the apps you would like to have it.
Definitely a big thing to do.
