What kind of printer and camera? If the camera uses Compact flash, you can just buy a SanDisk SDDR-31 usb reader, and mount the card as a disk (there's an equivalent for SmartMedia also). This is what I do for my digital Elph. Much faster than the crappy software that came with the camera anyway. Gphoto supports a number of cameras also. I know USB printers work, but I'm not sure which ones. Mandrake has a really nice utility called PrinterDrake which will set it all up for you.
