Just got an Acer Aspire One (AO522); here are some things I bumped into with Windows 7 Starter, or otherwise interesting links:

If you run ‘htop’ you might see over 60 processes named ‘console-kit-daemon’. This seems to be a bug. On a mostly-single-user system one might as well uninstall ‘consolekit’ package (seems to be used for fast user switching).
Installation instructions from:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/cups-unable-to-discover-an-hp-1022n-network-printer-710492/
Here are the essential instructions:
Configure the printer with its own facility, getting into its web page: http://the-actual-ip-address. There, assign a static IP address of your choice. You would have to (recommended) restart the printer with the new assigned static IP. Configure manually the printer within CUPS. Follow instructions up to the point where you are asked to specify the URI. There, write socket://the-new-ip-address Specify it is an HPLIP printer, and when prompted to specify the type of printer, scroll down and find the “HP LaserJet 1022n Foomatic/hpijs, hpijs 2.8.10.33” (for example, version is actually the one shown in my system, could be some other). Choose Add Printer. Print a Test Page and… Voila…!!
