Hogwash, I've got a brand-new HP 1770 Photo-printer hooked up to one 
of my many Linux systems that prints just fine.  It's connected via 
USB and has worked flawlessly from day 1.

I have not yet found a USB device that doesn't work under Linux.  
Actually, I've found devices that work just fine under Linux, but not 
under Windows.

You need to configure the printer first.  It doesn't matter if it's 
USB, parallel, or network based.  GnuCash will use the underlying 
print-spool system to print.  If you can already print from the 
command line and/or other applications, GnuCash is no different.  
Just specify the command you normally use from the command line to 
print in the <> Printer box and click Ok.

If you have more than one printer, or multiple printer instances, 
then you need to specify the name of the printer you wish to print 
with.

If you haven't configured printing for your system yet, then you 
won't be able to print.
