Hi

regarding printing:
install the lpr package and the magicfilter or apsfilter package (I
prefer personally the magicfilter package). I'm not sure at the moment
if magicfilter will be setup automatically by the installation
routines. If not take a look at the documentation how to set it up but
it's relatively easy. 
Automatically mounting of floppy is not that easy. If you work usually
with floppies with a DOS filesystem on it take a look at the mtools
package. You don't need to mount/umount in this case.

What's the railroad to me ?
I never go to see
Where it ends.
It fills a few hollows,
And makes banks for the swallows, 
It sets the sand a-blowing,
And the blackberries a-growing.
