You need a special kernel module for each different printer( e.g. one module for PCL5, one for EPSON, one for PostScript,..) The printing is then configured by the helpof CUPS. ==== The POSIX and Unix environment subsystem for Windows ==== *The Windows NTFS File System required for the installation drive :-(. *W2k, WinXP Pro, Win2003: *[[http://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/interopmigration/bb380242|Microsoft Interoperabilitäts- und Migrations-TechCenter "Windows Services for UNIX"]] - Windows Services for UNIX ( SFU ) 3.5 is available for free download. *Win2003, Win2008, Win7, Win 8, Win2012: *In Windows Server 2008 and high-end versions of Vista, Win7 ( Enterprise and Ultimate ) and Win8 ( Enterprise ), the recent “Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications” ( SUA ) is included. *[[http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20983|Microsoft Download "Utilities and Software Development Kit (SDK) for Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications" for Win2003]]. *[[http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=23754|Microsoft Download "Windows Utilities and SDK for Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications in Microsoft Windows Vista RTM/Windows Vista SP1 and Windows Server 2008 RTM"]] for Vista, Win2008. *[[http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=2391|Microsoft Download "Utilities and SDK for Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications in Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2"]] for Win7, Win2008R2. *[[http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35512|Microsoft Download "Utilities and SDK for Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications in Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012"]] for Win8, Win2012. *[[http://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/interopmigration/bb380242|Microsoft Interoperabilitäts- und Migrations-TechCenter "Windows Services for UNIX"]]. *[[http://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/library/bb496474%28en-us%29.aspx|Microsoft TechNet "Interoperability and Migration"]]. *[[http://www.debian-interix.net/|Debian Interix Port]]. *[[http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-319691-postdays-0-postorder-asc-start-0.html|Gentoo Discussion Forums, Thread "GeNToo: Gentoo on Microsoft Services For Unix"]]. *[[http://www.interopsystems.com/|Interop Systems Inc]]. *[[http://www.suacommunity.com/|Interop Community]]. *[[http://www.suacommunity.com/SUA.aspx|SUA Community for SUA / SFU / Interix]]. *[[http://www.netbsd.org/docs/pkgsrc/platforms.html#interix|NetBSD "Chapter 3.

It provides replacements for most of the utilities you usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc. The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than their full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included provide the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU counterparts. BusyBox provides a fairly complete environment for any small or embedded system". *[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BusyBox|EN.Wikipedia "BusyBox"]], [[http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/BusyBox|DE.Wikipedia "BusyBox"]]. *[[http://www.roaringpenguin.com/products/pppoe|Roaring Penguin "RP-PPPoE"]] - "free PPPoE client for Linux". ==== Drivers for Linux ==== *[[http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~vojtech/|Vojta Pavlik]]. *[[http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~vojtech/joystick/|The Linux Joystick Driver]]. *[[http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~vojtech/input/|Linux Input Driver]]. ===== Appropriate OpenDirectory Directory Pages ===== *[[http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Operating_Systems/Linux/|OpenDirectory "Top: Computers: Software: Operating Systems: Linux"]]. *[[http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Operating_Systems/Linux/Embedded/|OpenDirectory "Top: Computers: Software: Operating Systems: Linux: Embedded"]]. *[[http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Operating_Systems/Linux/Platforms/|OpenDirectory "Top: Computers: Software: Operating Systems: Linux: Platforms"]]. *[[http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Operating_Systems/Embedded/|OpenDirectory "Top: Computers: Software: Operating Systems: Embedded"]]. *[[http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Operating_Systems/Realtime/|OpenDirectory "Top: Computers: Software: Operating Systems: Realtime"]]. *[[http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Operating_Systems/Realtime/Open_Source/|OpenDirectory "Top: Computers: Software: Operating Systems: Realtime: Open Source"]]. *[[http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Operating_Systems/Realtime/Linux/|OpenDirectory "Top: Computers: Software: Operating Systems: Realtime: Linux"]]. {{tag>Linux}}
