I'm trying to use the provided tools to do this, but when I use the printer wizard, I get the list of options, included is my USB HP 712C (listed as 710C) deskjet printer. I try to install it, it gives me a quick dialog about drivers, and then never proceeds. I've tried connecting to the HAL and USB printer options and neither result in an installed printer. Any other suggestions?

You should be able to run drakconf as root from the console and disable the 3desktop.

I upgraded and then did a fresh install of 2009 PWP on my computer. Audio is not working. I notice there is a lack of /dev/dsp and /dev/sound. I have tried several things already, such as disabling pulseaudio, running alsaconf and harddrake. So far I am still not able to get the audio working. #lspci | grep -i audio 00:10.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2) Everything else appears to be working normally, and the soundcard appears to be setup with the proper driver. Everything was working fine in 2008.1 prior to the upgrade and install. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
