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



Well, I like kermit, but in general upload the fileto the device as
though it were a computer you were connecting to -- that sort of thing.
You might have to adjust carrier detect and things like that.

It has both a cereal and parallel port.
I don't know if I have a large format cereal cable, but I'll look
around if it's advantageous.
What would the procedure be to use a terminal via cereal?

Thanks!

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
