Some of these devices do come with software which can be used out of the box to solve simple use case scenarios. These software are almost always not available for Linux systems. I have had this problem with a bar code printer. The printer came with `open` protocols, but a very important label design utility was Windows only. We had to design the labels in a Windows box and then use the file created in a Linux based system where the bigger application was running.
