These two things are very different. The support I pushed to cups-filters is a CUPS-side rendering of documents, which I'd rather see homed at cups-filters. The support packaged separately in printer-driver-indexbraille is provided by the manufacturer itself and has an entirely different approach: it just sends the document to the embosser and let it do all the rendering. That approach seems to me much less interesting for CUPS (there is no support to be shared with other drivers for other embossers, for a start), that's why I didn't push it into CUPS. The two options can make sense, so a user may even want to have both installed and use one or another depending on the cases at stake. Personnally I find the CUPS-side rendering way more flexible and convenient. Samuel
