Did the display work fine during installation? If yes, then you can
see what is the configuration that was used when it autodetected
it. For example, when you boot using the liveCD, see the
/etc/X11/xorg.conf file. Backitup and restore it after the
installation and see if it helps.
Another option is to disable X, then try to reconfigure by X
--configure as root and see if it detects it.

For the printer, I have seen that you will need to enable and accept
the printer to get it working. There used to be commands called enable
/ accept but with CUPS it is called cupsenable / cupsaccept which are
symlinks to /usr/sbin/accept.
So try this, /usr/sbin/cupsenable <printername> and
/usr/sbin/cupsaccept <printername>
and see if it helps.
For the network connectivity, too little information to provide any
insights. Paste outputs of
ifconfig -a
netstat -nr
ping <your local ip address>
ping <your gateway>
May be that provide some clues.
