just a quick note (I'm in the middle of a proposal): there is some software 
from Viewplus in Oregon (www.viewplus.com) that can print from Linux (don't 
know about Solaris, ...) to their braille printer Tiger. It even manages 
pictures. To be more precise, it is a library of some sorts and some 
programs to print text or graphics (not mixed, unfortunately). I'm one of 
the very few (or perhaps the only one?) beta tester except Viewplus itself 
and the person who wrote this. I'm under a NDA so I can't give you more 
details, but I could get you in contact with either Viewplus or the 
programmer. The software is more then two years old, though.

Best,

Michael
