Re: [orca-list] How to connect braille embosser to Debian 8

[Jordy Deweer <jordydeweer gmail com>]

Hi Keith,
I installed the Index Braille AB driverpackages. Is that good, or not?
What are the biggest problems with the CUPS support for the Everest? Can I do simple margin-settings, left, right, top and bottommargin? Now I translate my texts with the Liblouis tables in the embosser itself!
Greetings, Jordy

There has been some work done to support embossers in cups.

Use your browser to navigate to http://localhost:631 and go to "add a new printer".

If you connect your embosser it will probably be in the list of found printers.

Once you have added the embosser you can set the defaults in cups by selecting the embosser in the printer list and choosing the set defaults option.

To emboss a document, just use the "control p" option and select the embosser as the printer.

There are currently a couple of issues with margins and paper size but they are being worked on.

Hi all,
I bought a new braille embosser yesterday.
But I don't know how do I connect the embosser properly to a Debian 8 machine. Can anybody tell me how I connect and configure the embosser properly, please?
I work with the following hardware and software:
An ASUS N551JK-CN079H-BE AZERTY (belgian model) with 8GB of RAM, 500GB harddisk, a Nvidia graphics card and a Intel Core i7 from the fourth edition.
I run Debian 8.4 Jessie 64-bits with Orca 3.18.2 active. And that all on the Mate desktop environment.
I use Dots as external braille translator, but in LibreOffice Writer is odt2braille installed.
How do I use this software with the embosser?
The embosser is a Index Everest V4 with firmware v1.5.3. Set in the British English language, because there isn't a Dutch translation available.

I hope that anyone can help me as soon as possible!

Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Jordy D
