executive summary; find a webcam that is UVC compliant;

printer: HP often works "out of the box"; do you want B&W laser or colour inkjet?

see here for Epson B40W; unknown if it works on linux

I would advise you not to buy it if you are new to linux:

newer canon inkjet printers work with Canon drivers;

this company makes drivers for many printers: http://www.turboprint.info/printers.html I recommend you look at their list of supported products: and buy turboprint: we have owned it for four years now and it has driven our various Canon inkjet printers well;

Brother printers have linux drivers; they need a little bit of care but install well;

and best install a 32bit version of Mint if installing these various printers:

actually I see Epson make printer drivers for what you proposed

so that printer should be fine to go on Mint
