Also just shut up your screen reader while playing music will work. If it is speakup, press the right bottom key on your keyboard, the enter key on the numpad for shut up. You can also set some config parameter in the mplayer config file in /etc to keep it quiet. for printing, just run print any_file_name If you have a properly defined mailcap file, things will just work. You can usually also just run lp any_file_name once your printer is configured properly. Web browsing is the one area where one has problems from the console. The lynx browser, that is l y n x, works well for many things, but does not support modern web pages. That said, I use it unless I really cannot do otherwise. The three commands, see, edit and print uses your mailcap file and is quite powerful. e.g. if I do see some_file.doc it will read a microsoft word document to me. If I do see song.wav It will start playing the music.
