For the printer, take a look at the "cupsys" package.
For sound, I suggest the alsa drivers. Which to install depends on which
kernel you are using. For a woody system, I suggest installing the
appropriate kernel-image-2.4.16 package and the associated
alsa-modules-2.4.16 packages. Note, on both of these you need to locate
decide on the appropriate package as there are a variety of versions for
different CPUs.

This simply shows that the dsp device exists, not that the kernel has the
appropriate driver loaded for it.
