This is ptouch-driver, a printer driver based on CUPS and foomatic, for the Brother P-touch and QL label printer families.

ptouch-driver was originally developed by Arne John Glenstrup. Maintenance has (as of September 2015) been taken over by Phil Pemberton.

A significant code clean-up was done by Andreas Gruenbacher in May 2020.

See the file `INSTALL' for directions on how to install this software.

After installing, you will probably have to reload or restart CUPS.
