Synergy is a free open source program (http://synergy-foss.org) that lets you easily share your mouse and keyboard between multiple computers on your desk. It is supported on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux... and KolibriOS

On KolibriOS there is only a client for now.
It allows you to use the mouse and keyboard connected to your linux/Mac OS/Windows machine to control your KolibriOS machine.

Step 1. Configure and start up your Synergy server
Step 2. Edit or make a new file synergyc.ini and place it in the same folder as synergyc program on your kolibriOS machine

example synergyc.ini:

Code: Select all

[local]
name    = kolibrios

[remote]
ip      = 192.168.1.118
port	= 24800
Step 3. Run synergyc on KolibriOS
Step 4. profit!

Some network printers just let you FTP the document onto the printer.
Problem with other methods is that there is no printer service in KolibriOS, eg what document are you going to send to the printer? and in what format?

Something like this

https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/cups.html

CUPS manages print jobs and queues and provides network printing using the standard Internet Printing Protocol (IPP), while offering support for a very large range of printers, from dot-matrix to laser and many in between. CUPS also supports PostScript Printer Description (PPD)
