sure I have it just right.

Well in that case its a deal breaker. I cannot see working with braille
documents that way. But as it turns out, I finally got things working with the

OK this is an Index Basic-D embosser built by the Index company of
Sweden. http://www.indexbraille.com This is a very well known company
with a wide range of embossers.
Index does indeed offer a MacOS X embossing solution. It works by means
of a special print driver installed in your Mac. This driver pulls the
text from a document, but not the formatting, and sends that text to the
embosser. Inside the embosser itself is an implementation of the
liblouis Braille translation software which translates the text from you
document to Braille. (you can, using the embosser controls, select the
Braille code to use.) Then the Braille is sent on to be embossed.
This works reasonably well but there is a problem. As good as liblouis
is it, like all other Braille translation software, is not perfect.
However unlike solutions that run on computers there is no way with this
system to intercept and correct any errors that liblouis might have made
in the translation. What ever comes out of the embosser is what you get.
The Index line of embossers as well as most others can also be driven
from the MacOS X CUPS printing interface as well.

Found the details and are below.
At a Glance
Basic-D is a success story. The best-selling braille embosser in the
world is easy-to-use and easy-to-like, using fan-folded paper to
produce double-sided braille.
* 100 characters/second - fastest embosser in its price range!

* Horizontal and vertical printing
* Tractor-fed paper - the most reliable paper feeding method
This is Basic-D V4
Basic-D V4 is a small, powerful, portable Braille printer. Its
extraordinary performance and competitive price has made Basic-D the
most sought after Braille printer in the world. It uses fan-folded
paper which is the most commonly used paper style for Braille
embossers. Basic-D is stable and capable of continuous Braille
embossing.
Double-sided high quality Braille
Interpoint Braille - double-sided Braille printing on both sides of
the paper - is an Index Braille trademark. Basic-D V4 produces
double-sided Braille in which achieves all Braille reading demands,
in addition to Braille international standards. The Braille dots are
easy to read and do not wear with age so expect endless
top-of-the-line quality Braille. This reliable dot forming
technology found in the Basic-D is environmentally friendly and
green approved and is sure to save you money comparably.
Easy user interface
User Interface. Basic-D V4 is complete with an easy-to-follow user
interface equipped with on-board speech interface guidance. The
preferred spoken language may be selected from the front control
panel of the embosser. You may also find additional languages
download able from the Index Braille website; visit downloads. Your
preferred language not available? Contact us.
Meaningful features
Basic-D V4 is complete with valuable features; printable in single
and double-sided Braille, horizontal and vertical printing options
and sharp tactile graphics. Basic-D is supplied with USB, serial and
network ports for easy connectivity, as well as, a service port
compatible with an embedded web interface to maneuver the embosser
via internet. Not to mention that Basic-D V4 has printer drivers to
support embossing from Windows PC and Macs!
Even better embossers
Index V4 Braille embossers are easier to use than ever; with a
longer lifespan, simpler servicing options and much more. Basic V4
is accommodated with the best Braille technology available, and will
continue to do so in its leading segment, for years to come.

There is another Braille embosser which works with the Mac and
it does not use any kind of drivers. You just plug in your
USB port and it’s ready to print. More information can be
found at www.siteandsound.co.uk
<http://www.siteandsound.co.uk/> and they ship
internationally. I did send a message about it before and
it’s in the archives.
