I asked the Open University Needs Assessment for a wi-fi printer and the
response I got was that this type of printer is not suitable for a blind
person. I an therefore being recommended a Cannon printer which I have been
told cost 49 pounds! I am expecting that when I first replace the blac and
colour cartridge both will in total cost more than the printer. I had a Lexmark
wi-fi printer which I found excellent until my guide dog knocked it off the low
table I had it on. Since then the wi-fi does not work so I have had to go back
to using a cable with it' interesting though that I cannot use my disabled
Student Allowance for wi-fi printer because someone has decided that such a
printer is not suitable for blind people.

Yup - safest bet is Maplins which we always recommend for Braille
embossers. £24.99.
Can only say that I've not had good experience with the Lexmark we
bought. It needed to be almost on top of the wireless router.

Subject: [access-uk] PARALLEL TO USB CONVERTER?
Hi all,
Well, My old desktop has, at least for the moment, given up working
and I need to use my parallel printer. My laptop only has a USB
option so, can I get a converter at a reasonable price? If so, any
details would be most welcome.
In addition, if I need to go for a new printer, as I have WiFi in the
house, should I consider a WiFi or USB connection printer? It would
be good to have details, please, of any models which you really like
and are fully useable for a totally blind person.
Thanks.
