Re: [orca-list] using a braille embosser under ubuntu 13.4 64 bit



Maybe send the file directly to /dev/lp0, e.g.
cat file.brf > /dev/lp0 and see what happens.

Subject: [orca-list] using a braille embosser under ubuntu 13.4 64 bit

Hi guys,
I'm trying to use an Enabling Technologies Juliet printer.
I don't expect that there will be any drivers, I just want to figure out a
way to send a file to the parallel port. The embosser should know what to do
from there.

I've done the following from a command prompt:

lpr -Plp0 "filename.brf"

I get an error:
"The printer or class does not exist."

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks!
Rusty
