I have the Index Basic Braille Printer. Where do I get the drivers for the Mac? Up until now I have been using it on Windows.

Why don't you use Louis combined with the Index Braille printer app for the Mac? I do that successfully here.

Hello All,

I’m trying to get an old Index Basic working with my Mac Mini. I have an USB 2 Paralle. I have installed a USB 2 Serial driver to try the serial route. In the system report; That it sees an IEEE-1284 device and has this listing.

IEEE-1284 Controller:

 Product ID: 0x2305
 Vendor ID: 0x067b  (Prolific Technology, Inc.)
 Version: 2.00
 Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec
 Manufacturer: Prolific Technology Inc.
 Location ID: 0x14400000 / 2
 Current Available (mA): 500
 Current Required (mA): 100

In linux I would now echo something to the /dev listing but I don’t know if it is listed in /dev. The add printer tool doesn’t allow you to specify USB or Parallel connection. What on earth does it mean by offering fax, ip and window?

Does anyone use an old parallel or serial on a new Mac? If so, how did you configure it?
