Run 'file' over it first, to see what it is. Assuming it's something that
is executable in some way, try
chmod u+x so-5_2-qa-bin-linux-en.bin
./so-5_2-qa-bin-linux-en.bin
That will make it executable and run it.
Then follow prompts and whatnot. StarOffice isn't my thing (LaTeX is the
one true document prep system, troff a close second) so I'll leave advanced
SO to others.

OK, The Epson printer might be a problem - those beasts are notoriously
screwed in all sorts of creative ways. The scanner may or may not be a
problem - xsane is pretty good at that sort of thing. I have absolutely
zero knowledge of DVDs, though don't expect support to be too easy - DVDs
and Linux (thanks to the tireless efforts of those stalwarts of Truth,
Justice, and the American way (greed above all else), the MPAA and RIAA)
don't mix. Such is life. I'll be surprised if the CD-RW can't be
encouraged to work. If it's SCSI, you're set - they *all* work (AFAIK -
I've certainly never had one go "pfft" at me), otherwise it's time to roll
out IDESCSI and have some fun...
