How to install a printer

Hi,
I'm new to GNU/Linux. I recently installed trisquel but I'm not able to install my printer (HP OfficeJet G85) or the sound. Any help? Thanks.
Cheers,
Jordi
From the main menu, go to System > Administration > Printing. You should be able to add your printer from there.
Check out (http://trisquel.info/en/wiki/setup-printer).
Thank you very much for your responses. It was not so easy (the printer was detected and configured but the fact was it did not print). But at last I found a solution here: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/database/cupsdocumentation
After configure CUPS manually I got my printer printing! :-)
Cheers,
Jordi

What problems did you have with the sound? Is it solved already?
Howdy, Cyberhawk!
The problem is there is no sound at all, and no, it is not, unfortunately, solved yet. I've tried to read some info in the net but I get lost every time, so some help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.

Go to the terminal and type in:
sudo lspci
Look for lines with "audio devices" or "multimedia audio controllers". Copy the id number in front of the line with your audio device/controller and search for that id number at www.duckduckgo.com. A good search string is: "id number in Linux".
Those id numbers are identifiers for hardware, if your hardware is not supporting free drivers, chances are people are having problems with it all over the net and posting it on forums. If there is some sort of trick to get it to work, chances are you'll find it described in one of the forums you'll see in the search results.
Good luck!
