For the printer, you can either install lprng or cupsys. I'd recommend 
going with cupsys (CUPS) as it's easier to configure.

For the Ensoniq, do an "lspci" and see if it reports if it's an ES1370 
or ES1371 (or something else - I'm assuming it's one of these two). Then 
type "modprobe es137x" (where x = 1 or 0). If that installs without 
errors, try playing something (restart KDE, or fire up xmms and play an 
ogg, or play an ogg via splay, etc). If that works, you can add "es137x" 
to "/etc/modules" to automatically modprobe this module on future reboots.
