A USB keyboard is possible. However, a USB printer is theoretically possible. Win CE really has very few USB drivers, mainly keyboard, mouse, and removeable drives. You wouldn't be able to plug-in all the whatever stuff you use on the computer like printers/scanners/what-not because they don't have the proper drivers. Drivers are a pain to write and for example, printers, it would have to be made for each printer. It's not practical.
