If you just want to print documents you type yourself, goffice (abiword, gnumeric) is enough. But most of the time you have to have libre Office, to be able to open the opendocument format it uses. Web browser: allow me to defend midori. Firefox is good and known, but on little machines it's obvious that midori is lighter, and still doesn't leak much features! etc: I don't know any app for this
