Two possible approaches:
1. connect to the ISP using minicom or other terminal software. See if
theprompts are what your expect strings are looking for.
2. Add the debug switch to your invocation of pppd. Now both it and chat (or
whatever dialer you are using) will write to your logs (probably
/var/log/messages, but check your syslogd setup to be sure) a lot of
information about the connection.
It is also possible that your expect strings are fine but you have an LCP
problem(the stage in setting up PPP after authentication). That's a good bit
harder to troubleshoot, so your best bet is to pin down where in the
connection process things fail before going into that.
Good luck. Hope this helps.
(I omitted your other 2 questions because I don't know the answer to the
sound card problem and John already answered your printer question at least
as well as I could.)
