1. I use the tools in the cups-bsd package for printing.  "lpr <filename>"

2. For music, I've ripped all of my CDs and I play them with mplayer or mpg321.

3. For documents, I create them in latex and convert them to pdf via pdflatex before sending them to others.

Over the last couple days or so, I've considered becoming a totally command line linux user.  I know there are those who've done it, but i simply have
not known how.  Now that I'm trafficing in hardware synths that don't work in the GUI, that desire has increased.
How would I print to my printer for example, or play an entire album from my music collection.  How, also, would I create documents in
something beyond text format?  How does one ditch the guy, and still enjoy all linux has to offer in the console?
I'm willing to learn how to do this, but who ever decides to help me is gonna hafta be patient.  My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think I'm
still up to the challenge.
