embossing files

[igueths at attbi.com]

Hi Chuck. Ok I will try that. Currently in printcap I have params set for my 
print printer. I got the embosser to work at one point but at that time I 
didn't have a translator, which I have now (using nfbtrans atm). I will also 
try connecting the Blazer directly to the parport and see what happens there. 
This switch I am currently using possibly requires two printers to be connected 
to it for it to work properly, so better connect that print printer again!
