I havent used ubuntu after hardy was out. Before that, I just used to get familiar with its editor and few simple stuffs (wep cracking was the best part ;).however, I have some blind guess for the above mention situation. Check your CUPS, it is probably off.
If your hardware is new in market, their drivers will not be easily available in Linux platform. In that case, you may need to wait a while for that. So it is always good to have duo boot OS. But that will definitely reduce the use of linux ;).
About webcam, if you can see the presence of webcam ( led on), I believe the driver is installed. Or you can run openCV and get some code from internet just to see if your camera is working properly.
