Are you saying it is a hardware issue or are you hinting at a software issue on GNU/Linux? I have used the embosser successfully from Windows over USB, so I can confirm that the hardware works. Using ethernet is not an alternative, as we have extremely restricted networking policies, with multiple layers of proxies. >> >echo 'Hello, world!' | file2brl -p -Chyphenate=yes >> >-CliteraryTextTable=en-us-brf.dis,en_GB.tbl,de-g2.ctb,braille-patterns.cti >> >-CinputTextEncoding=UTF8 -CbraillePages=yes -CbraillePageNumberAt=bottom >> >-CpageNumberBottomSeparateLine=yes -CprintPages=yes -CprintPageNumberAt=top >> >-CpageNumberTopSeparateLine=yes -CpageSeparator=yes >> >-CpageSeparatorNumber=yes -CcontinuePages=yes -CcellsPerLine=29 >> >-ClinesPerPage=27 >> >> Ok, I have the issue on both of my Debian Bullseye systems. >> >> $ file2brl --version >> file2brl (liblouisutdml) 2.9.0 > >Ah, indeed with that version I'm getting issues, but what I notice is >rather: > >/usr/share/liblouis/tables/de-g2-core.cti:38: error: More than 256 characters […] Ok, upgrading liblouis works, although I'm getting a few warnings now. Unrelated though, the output looks strange to me: HEQO1 _W6 […] #A 6-dot braille should not have dot 7 around ("hello") and the page number "#A" should rather be "#a". It might be a configuration/braille table issue. Just in case you/anyone is aware of the cause. I'll look into it as soon as the embosser works :). Thanks Sebastian
