Linux Hardware Guide: Output Devices

I wouldn't call a Monitor an "accessory" as much as a "nessesity", but I'm grouping it with the other external things. We'll be covering Scanners, Printers, and Digital Cameras also.

Monitor	Now Linux doesn't require some special type of monitor, and in most cases you won't need to worry about this at all. But there is a possibility that you will need to manually input the specifications of the monitor. The important specs of the Monitor are the maximum refresh rates and maximum resolutions. You can generally find the information on the manufacturers website. If not, google for it. Resources: Tom's Hardware - Tom's Hardware is a great site. This is their Displays Section.
Scanners	Scanners utilize a lot of proprietary software, and that means that it's really tricky to make drivers for them. The definitive resource for Scanners on Linux is SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy). Besides SANE there is XVScan, a scanning software for Linux, Parallel Port Scanners under Linux, and USB Scanners on Linux.
Printers	Printers also use proprietary software. You should check Linux Printing for more information. As they say, "Researching a printer purchase? Start with suggested printers, or browse the database." There is also CUPS, the Common UNIX Printing System.
Digital Cameras	Digital Cameras use the most proprietary software of all three of these accessories. The best resource for Digital Cameras is GPhoto.org. "gPhoto2 is a free, redistributable, ready to use set of digital camera software applications for Unix-like systems, written by a whole team of dedicated volunteers around the world." See their list of Supported Cameras
