Thank you very much
As you might have read in the corresponding documentation (https://tails.boum.org/doc/advanced_topics/additional_software/index.en.html) "Installing additional packages might break the security built in Tails. Be careful with what you install." We cannot provide a security audit for any piece of software in the world and thus we cannot tell you if any piece of software is particularly dangerous. However, running Windows executables always sounds like a bad idea, don't you think so? As for printers, most of them should work out of the box in Tails. And concerning Dropbox, you might want to consider changing you old habits and use it over their web interface instead.
