i have no driver for the Blazer. it does appear on the printer list as default printer. i select a text file and "save as" Document. i then went to "processing" and chose "Louis.cfg". for "send Braille" i used /dev/null (the others were /test.out, modem,PDA) the pinwheel just spins. thanks again art Alex Jurgensen` wrote: > Hi, > > I'm thinking that NFB is thinking of Duxbury, where it shows up on > screen in Braille first.
