Root [Sprint] Apps Safe to Turn Off?

Which of these apps are safe to turn off?

Flipboard (I have a feeling this one is)
Play Movies & TV
Play Newsstand
Google Search
Group Play
HP Print Service Plugin (I have a feeling this one is)
Samsung Books
Samsung Print Service Plugin
Samsung Video
Samsung WatchOn
Samsung WatchOn Video
Share Music
TalkBack
TripAdvisor (I have a feeling this one is)
Youtube (I use Instatube)

EDIT: I just realized this is the rooting board. While it might go in here, as I am rooted, it also might go in the default S4 board. Feel free to move if you feel it should go there.
 
These are some of my disabled apps.

Flipboard, HP, YouTube, without problems. I don't know about Samsung apps, but most likely the can be disabled.

^^ agreed. Just cuz I have no problems.. lol don't mean the next guy won't. It really how you use your device. Like talkback. It could be useful. And some could rely on it not even knowing. Until they stop or disable it then they realize they were using the app the whole time. Just remember for almost every app... There is another on playstore
.lol
