Hi, Chris.
Here you go.
Add a generic_/text only printer in Win7
Go to Control Pannel and select Devices and Printers.
Open the File menu and select Add a Printer.
Select the Add a Local Printer button (if your printer is cabled up to
the computer.)
Make sure the "Use an existing port" radio button is checked.
Look through the combo box using the arrow keys and choose the
appropriate port. (It would be a USB port if you're using a USB
converter type of cable.)
In the next dialog, choose the Generic printer in the first listview,
and the Generic/Text only option in the next listview.
Choose the Next button, then choose the Next button again--you'll be
using the currently installed driver, and that radio button is checked
by default.
In the Edit field, type in your embosser's name. Choose the Next button.
Choose the Next button again--this dialog lets you share your printer.
Uncheck the "Set as default srinter" if you don't want the embosser to
be selected when you do the Print command.
Choose the Print Test Page to be sure the computer and embosser are talking.
Select the Finish button if the test page prints. (I usually let a few
lines print, then shut off the embosser.)
HTH,
Dani

with unplugging and plugging it back in. Who would have thought? Always a
good thing to try even if we don't think it will make a difference. So glad
it's all working. Happy embossing!

Hi Chris,
Technology. I got it resolved. All I had to do is to unplug the USB cable
from the computer and plug it again. Weird, but that's what happened.
Thanks to everybody.

Duke, I have a braille blazer as well. I haven't installed things for a
while, but I needed to get a special cable that has a USB connector on one
end and I believe a mail parallel port connector on the other end. So, I
would definitely try parallel setting on the braille blazer. I will
confirm the settings when I return home later today because I have to
reinstall things on my new computer.

I did add a generic text only printer. I selected it in good feel. I
chose via USB. I can't remember whether I should set my blazer to
parallel or Serial. In either case, it doesn't want to print.
Thanks

Hi, Duke.
Here's the lik to the Goodfeel 3.0 FAQ page. Look for the Heading 2 re

Hi guys,
Can anybody refresh me on how to install the braille embosser. I did
what I
know but it didn't work. I have a braille blazer on windows 7 32 bit.
Thank you.
