What means "install a Voyager"?
There is brltty, which comes with a driver for Voyager.

Which Ubuntu? I guess Hardy; in this case there's no autodetection by
the installer.
After installation, log in to a text console and type:
sudo brltty
Does this work?
If not, then try:
sudo brltty -b vo -d usb:
If you use a different braille table than the US one, you should append
the following to the above command:
-t xx
where "xx" is the two letter code for your braille table. (Recently I
learned that in the Netherlands you use the German table. If this is
right, then use "de" without the quotes).

If Orca runs with speech, you can open a Gnome terminal and then type:
sudo gedit /etc/brltty.conf
Read through the file. The comment lines tell you how to use it.
