Mmm... Ok, I found the issue, it's the '-' character in the BRF output,
that was caught by a bogus code bit in cups-filters. You probably have
a textbrftoindexv4 or textbrftoindexv3 file somewhere in something
like /usr/lib/cups/filter/, you can send it, and I'll send you a fixed
version. Basically, the line that says

if [ -z "${LINE/*[$'\000'-$'\037'$'\177']*}" ]

should actually be

if [ -z "${LINE/*[$'\000'$'\001'-$'\037'$'\177']*}" ]

No, that filter error gets triggered way before sending data to the
embosser.

Yep, that looks fine.
