Dear Greg,I mis-spoke, there is no serial port on this Juliet Pro 60. I have already talked with Enabling Technology, and they said it is Windows only. So, I guess I'm out in the cold as far as using my Mac with this embosser. If I were going to buy an embosser, I would choose another company. We sent in an embosser, a Bookmaker, to have the tractor feed tapes replaced, the tapes were $15 each for 4, but the bill from Enabling Technologies was $900, of which $720 was labor. How does the Keyspan communicate from the Mac to the embosser, it must use some kind of driver, a generic one, perhaps? Is there a way to send a file directly from Louis to an ethernet port, or does it go through the Emboss program?
Thanks for your time, MLP On Jul 30, 2007, at 8:31 PM, Greg Kearney wrote:
It is quite an undertaking the CUPS system was intended for image based printers. The simplest thing to do is to use the serial port with a USB to serial device such as those sold by keyspan. You might also want to contact Enabling about a Mac USB or ethernet driver.I know for sure that your embosser will work via serial however.

Would it be so difficult to write such a driver? People have written Mac camera drivers for Windows web cams, why not for this? This printer has serial, ethernet, usb, and parallel.Thanks On Jul 30, 2007, at 5:59 PM, Greg Kearney wrote:Not that I know of it would require a print driver of some kind. Your embosser should have a serial port or bluetooth that you could use. What is the model and make of the embosser.Greg On Jul 30, 2007, at 16:53 , MaryLee Perkins wrote:If an embosser has ethernet, is there any way to use it from a Mac, going directly to ethernet?Thanks, MLPClick on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.comManage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below.//www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverUsers can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Webinterface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverClick on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.comManage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below.//www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverUsers can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Webinterface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverClick on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.comManage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below.//www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverUsers can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Webinterface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverClick on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.comManage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below.//www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverUsers can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover- request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Webinterface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover
