I have a Braille Blazerr, and recently switched to a USB only computer. A good computer shop will have USB to parallel cables. You'll have to assign a port number to the device, but a computer savy individual shouldn't have much trouble with that.

The person it belongs to is not wanting to replace an old desktop and wondering if it will be usable with a laptop which only has USB. Are there embossers which use USB connectors or how does a person work around this?
