The easiest way to set up a printer is to install the package
printconf, and then run it. It's a similar utility to alsaconf (that
sets up soundcards for you). The description for printconf is:
printconf - automatically configures USB and parallel printers with CUPS
As root, in the terminal, just enter the command printconf. It should
work. It depends on what type of printer you have, though (some
printers, like Canon, don't work well with Linux, I find).
Installing xterm and fluxbox should be the same as installing anything
else:
# aptitude install fluxbox xterm
or, you could use synaptic or apt.
