Hi Fina, You'll be happy to know that USB works for both printers and embossers in 10.5. However, I have to say that USB printers have worked with at least DBT 10.4 also. (though not embossers) So I suspect you have a local problem. Do you know what the error message was? As regards by visit, I'm in Northern New Jersey (Westwood) for the weekend and Monday and Tuesday. I drive up to Boston on Wednesday and am at Duxbury for Thursday and Friday.

I can't wait for the newest version of Duxbury to come. We've proposed alot of changes, made a lot of good suggestions, etc. so i think we'll all be excited to see this new and much needed upgrade. I have one last request. I noticed that duxbury doesn't seem to support usb ports. Would it be possible to ask the Duxbury folks to make sure it does? My print printer is on a usb port and when I tried to print something directly from DBT to that printer, i couldn't do it, it kept giving me n error message. I have two braille embossers on this computer on ports lpt1 and lpt2 and moved my print printer to a usb port. You said you were going to be stateside, where all are you going? I'm sure that many of us here in the states would like to have the pleasure of meeting you in person, giving you a hug and thanking you personally for all your wonderful work and much appreciated help on the Duxbury Users List. And who knows, maybe you'd even get treated to a nice jucy Texas steak! Thanks for reading, God bless and hope all our dotted dreams come true!! Respectfully, Fina Currey fina@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
