Hi.

It has an USB port, it is not as old, as the old ones.

It also has an eithernet port, so the best thing would be, if it could work as 
a networks printer, that should be possible. Indexbraille has made a great 
manual how to set the printer up on a mac, I was very happy. It could use pef, 
and there are an online service that can make the pef files, if you can not get 
that braille interface to libre office to work. I could not get that thing for 
libre office to work, that was inaccissible, but the e2u program, that has been 
made for printing out pef files, is a javaapplication, and I can do nothing 
when I open the app. Brailleblaster is also a java app, I got the same problem 
with that app.
 Well many things has been tried, as you can hear, but with no further luck.

Best regards Annie.
