Thanks. Have you said which printer? If so, I have missed it. It is likely to be relevant. I have absolutely no problems with my Samsung, nor with other Samsungs I have installed for other people, nor with HPs of various types that I have installed. And PDFs print fine, as does everything else. Are you using CUPS? If HPLIP doesn't work, have you tried hpijs? There may, of course, be a problem with Xfce that I don't know about. All the Wheezy systems I administer are running Trinity 3.5.13.2. But Wheezy certainly does not in general have printing problems.
