Adobe Photoshop

Wine may or may not run your graphics apps. You should consult the appdb:
http://appdb.winehq.org/

This link will show you what printers will and will not work:

HP are very supportive of Linux. Some brother printers run ok with the open drivers. The site will tell you what's what.

The drive will work just fine and its manufacturer is moot.

For starters, you might as well give up on the Brother if you want it to work. There are no drivers that are out for that model of printer. However your HP should work, I found some driver information on HP's site that show linux support. As for Photoshop, your best bet is Photoshop CS2 or earlier, or running it inside of a virtual machine. Some people will suggest the GIMP, but I'll be flat out honest and say it is not an EQUAL alternative, more so a lesser one. Paintshop will not install, even through wine, calling it a corrupt installation. Lastly your maxtor drive should work, but if the system you're using does not have NTFS support I'd recommend installing it, because I assume thats the format it's in.

Wow! Ok thanks for all the information. One last thing... My version of photoshop is 7.0, so that one will work, right??

Selected Test Results (selected in 'Test Results' table below)
What works
Mostly, all works, some examples :
- main toolbar
- layers window,and any other floating window, provided you let the windows manager control all in winecfg (Display tab)
 - filters
- automation
 Photoshop 7 works out of the box in wine, but plugins often need more, like dotnet 2.0 or visual c dlls. I had a hard time installing those, even with the help of winetricks.

What does not
when a picture window is maximized then closed, graphics garbage remain in the main window.

What was not tested
