You can't install programs on it; you can only use stuff from the Chrome store and the whole Google suite. For that reason, I absolutely love it. I use it for nothing but surfing, watching stuff, and writing (you can work on documents in offline mode), and it's super fast and clean because it's not clogged up with all the other stuff. I honestly believe that if surfing and docs is all you want to do with it, the inability to download programs is actually its strength.

Can you print on it or add pictures?

You can save files onto it, just not executable ones (.exe).  I do believe that you can print from Google Docs.  You can use Adobe and other plugins, but not software.  Basically look at the Chrome store, and that's what you can do with it.  Nothing that can't be installed as a plugin or done directly online, like with Google Drive and stuff.

I just have all my docs on Drive and all my music uploaded to Play so I can stream it from anywhere, so as long as I've got internet I'm gold.  Even without it I can store some music right on it and edit docs in offline mode.
