Narrative:

While turning a 9 mi final; slowing and configuring for approach; put gear down and got multiple failures. ECAM #1 -- landing gear/doors not closed; ECAM #2 -- lgciu #1 failure and blue to do. ECAM #3 -- lgciu #2 failure and blue to do. All 3 gear were down/locked. All gear doors were open. Blue to do wanted to crank gear down -- disregarded. Also knew/noticed steering failure. Hand flew remainder of approach to touchdown. On final; discussed several options including cycling gear (no use) and cycling anti-skid/nosewheel steering switch offirst officern (no help). Copilot asked if wanted to go around to talk with anyone and decided in position to land so continue to full stop. Rolled to end; had normal brakes and used differential braking and thrust to clear active. Declared emergency with tower on final and had them roll emergency equipment. Brakes never got above 190 degrees C (no hot brakes). Started APU and shut down engines; completed remainder of tow-in checklist. Got towed in from ramp and parked aircraft. Gave it to maintenance; made all appropriate calls and called it a day.
