Great!  We are always glad to help out.  Let's aim for world (or, at
least statewide) domination by this time next year :-)

OK, the Ensoniq is indeed supported by the kernel.  In kernel 2.0.35,
we've got Ensoniq SoundScape support.  I would suspect and hope that
this is the chipset used in your card.  You may end up needing to use
kernel 2.1 if the driver isn't in 2.0, although it may be debatable
whether or not this is a good choice for you.  Does you card by chance 
have SoundBlaster emulation?

Regarding the printer:

GhostScript-aladdin has a "stcolor" and "st800" driver.  One of those
may well be what you are looking for.

It produces output at 360 DPI by default, but can do better.  The
command line is:

gs -sDEVICE=stcolor -r720x720 stcolor.ps  inputfile.ps

Debian has a lot of documentation in
/usr/doc/gs-aladdin/devices.txt.gz.  I forget if you are running
Debian or RedHat.  If you've got Debian, I can help you set everything 
up; however, I unfortunately don't know enough about the RedHat print
system to be of much use; you may have to check on a RedHat list or
see if somebody else here may be able to assist you.
