That would be the cheapest and easiest solution. Not all USB to parallel converters are created equal, so you might ask Enabling Technologies if they have one they can recommend. Even if they won't support this configuration it doesn't mean it won't work. It should work. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Duyahn Walker" <themusicman1@xxxxxxxxx> To: <real-eyes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, August 11, 2010 2:13 PM Subject: [real-eyes] Re: Braille Embosser Question The only thing I can think of is to use a USB to parallel cable on your printer. The USB side would go in to the computer and the parallel side would go in to your printer. At that point, you would have to set up a generic printer in what ever translator your using. Maybe I am wrong about some of this but, someone on the list please tell me if I have at least some of this right.

The problem is, I don't have a parrallel port on the back of my computer tower and I use the Juliet Classic braille embosser to prepare all of our braille. The only way to connect the braille embosser to my computer is through the parallel cable. Can I use a parallel/USB connector to solve this problem? What are some other possible work arounds for this? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
