Marda,
Unless I im mistaken, the Howtek printer is the PixelMaster.  Howtek makes the
basic printer which is modified by them and Enabling Technologies with a
"braille font" card.  Howtek was at the NFB convention and I saw the printer
there.  The braille is not great, but readable.  The printer excells at
displaying graphics and/or graphics and braille on the same page.
