Jason,
This appears to be where I am. Still think in Windows so had
expected to do a similar setup in OS X.
I want to use Louis and looked at it this morning. I ran the
Terminal command offered to me earlier today which did not show me any
serial ports. So that must mean that OS X cannot see the USB connection
that Windows can using the parallel to USB cable. That is the deal
breaker because the Juliet is too old and I do not expect Enabling will
have drivers.
So if the Mac cannot see the port, I cannot send to the embosser.
Correct?
From E.T.'s Keyboard...

Many believe that we have been visited
in the past. What if it were true?

No. You need to be able to send unmodified ASCII text to the device. OS X uses
Cups as its printer control software. There's a "raw" output option that might
work.
You'll need a braille translator (if you don't have one installed already).
You might also be able to bypass the printer control software entirely. If the
device appears to the system as a serial port, you could write to it, e.g.,
with the cat command. What you want is to send BRF files directly to the
embosser without modification.
