Welcome AndyOpie150,
Glad you like the distro. It should do well for the older computers and, depending on the brands of printers, you may be pleasantly surprised by how easily LL handles the old printers. HP printers in general are very well supported. Up until very recently (when printer finally died) I had no problems with recognition and setup of an old HP printer from 1996-97. Setup LL last year on a friend's ancient (2001) P4 computer with only 512MB of RAM and it works great (for an old computer). She has an old HP printer (around 2003-4) that was recognized right away and needed no special setup to get working.
Let us know how things work out.
