Susan,
The Dipner Dots method was originally developed by Raised Dot Computing and put
in their Braille-Edit and BEX programs.  It allows an ink-print printer to
produce draft quality braille using the period to punch holes.  It involves
modifying the platen, wraping it with a soft material.  I didn't know that
Braille Talk had such a driver, but it may.
