Hello,

I have been working on braille embosser support for CUPS, so that
embossing a document can be as easy as printing it.  I have attached the
result.

The principle I have followed is to use the cups architecture to
separate on one hand frontends which turn documents into braille text
(text/vnd.cups-brf) or braille graphics (image/vnd.cups-brf), notably
based on liblouis, and on the other hand backends which emboss braille
text or braille graphics (I have implemented a generic driver which
should work on all embossers, and a driver for the Index embosser which
I can actually test).

For now, I have made a separate package, so it is easy to test it
already, but ideally, I would like to see this work integrated into CUPS
filters, so that blind people don't need to install a separate package,
but just configure CUPS for their embosser.  How should we proceed?
Perhaps first iterate over the packaged version, until the code is fine
for integration, and then I'll submit a patch against cups-filters?
