Have you tried using the generic text only printer driver? That should work under your virtual windows.

Hi. I have tried for half a year to get that to work, even with a USB printer it is not possible to solve that problem, I have also tried in VMWare, with the same result. It seems as if the printer needs a driver. If any of you have a solution, so that the brailleprinter will work in windows in VMWare, I would love to hear about it. Best regards Annie.

I have contacted indexbraille, and they told me, that there hopefully would be a solution in about six month. I have a lot of problems with my braille printer. I only have a mac now.
