I can say right now that my printer, an HP Laserjet 1010, won't work with the BN because it requires Windows software. So, I must print with my PC.
The BN also has issues with margins. The default margins aren't measured in inches. That means a person must experiment with the help of a sighted person to see which margin settings would be right. I think being able to print with the BN is very important, but HumanWare is far behind in making the BN accessible for printers being sold today. I'm not a technician, so I don't know if it would be possible to create drivers or whatever is needed so the BN could detect the "plug and play" printers. The margin issue should have been addressed long ago. Terri, Amateur Radio call sign KF6CA.

Himself a Braillenote PK user he confessed a lack of experience using the new and couldn't say that he knew it actually should print. "It should, but I've never tried printing with one. Talk to Humanware, I guess ..." : : Well, Humanware and MPower users ... what do you think? The Manual and User guide say positively the thing should print and with a minimum of trouble. But I'm learning from a few users they also experience the same results as I do--MPower thinks it's printed a document when it hasn't. So perhaps there actually is a problem? : : Hopeful of a simple answer ... : : Matt Lyles : ___ : To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to : [EMAIL PROTECTED] : To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit : http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote : : : : __________ NOD32 1.1541 (20060516) Information __________ : : This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. : http://www.eset.com : : ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
