Hi Don,
I believe what you want is something along the lines of an "HP
Jetdirect 300x Print Server".
Although there are other makes your employers many prefer, I can say
that I have successfully used the Jetdirect 500x with both DBT and the
parallel versions of a number of embossers on our own Windows Server
2000 and 2003 Enterprise network. I know these have also been used by
a major charity here in the U.K. for exactly the same purpose.

Parallel devices are less popular these days, but this device will
allow the embosser to be connected to the network, and shared, just
like any other conventional network printer, and yet retain the
"lock-down" policy required.
All the best,
George.

Hi All,
Because of our Vista locked down settings administered by the Office
of Management and Budget, I am unable to print to an embosser which is
attached as a local printer to another computer on the network at our
Federal agency. This would require sharing out the other box and that
is absolutely forbidden; sharing out the printer on the other computer
isn't enough as I still can't see the other pc due to the lock down.
I am told that the answer is to turn the local printer into a
networked printer through a parallel to Ethernet converter box. Does
anyone have a recommendation on the best one to get? Will this work
with a Braille embosser? Thanks.
