The crux of the matter is this: There is a Canon MF3228 printer/scanner and OC Linux (Kubuntu 15.04). There are drivers for this printer only for evil OS, and I can’t replace the printer (or connect an additional device with win on board via a local network) and... actually from here and a question. How to force this printer to work under control of OC Linux?

Maybe justin.yackoski.name/winp/russian.html will help ;)
in general, read this topic unixforum.org/index.php?showtopic=62698

A monstrous crutch from hopelessness: raise Windu in the virtual machine, throw this printer into it, install the drivers and share it as a network one. Brrr, but it might work ;)

Единственный простой и проверенный способ - установить VirtualBox c расширениями для USB, туда поставить Windows XP и установить принтер непосредственно в Windows. Если надо что-то напечатать - включаете VirtualBox и из него печатаете. А сканер в Linux и так работает.

Может можно как-то через docker? Я не знаток, но тоже вроде замена виртуалке?
