We implemented a POS system on openSUSE about 9 months ago.

The only POS printer that we could find that already have drivers is
the Fenix Imvico SM2000.

The driver for CUPS is available for download.

Almost any barcode scanner will work as it acts as a keyboard.

We used the Metrologic Eclipse M5145

We also used a bar scanner from DigiPos:

We used an Aqsonic cash drawer, but any cash drawer should work, they
plug into the printer and the printer open the cash drawer.  We used
the development driver of the SM2000 and it could not yet open the
drawer, but the production version should be able to do it.

If you want to write your application in Java, or maybe just write an
integration portion in Java, you can look at JavaPOS.

This supports a number of POS hardware.
