===== Use Brother P-Touch 700/750W on Linux =====

Due to the great work of someone, who has written a tool to use a Brother P-Touch from Linux via CLI and without CUPS, it is possible to use those label-printers on Linux.

The sourcecode can be found [[https://git.familie-radermacher.ch/linux/ptouch-print.git|here]].

==== Installation ====
//Tested on Ubuntu24.04//
  * First clone the repository:
<code bash>git clone https://git.familie-radermacher.ch/linux/ptouch-print.git</code>
  * Enter the directory:
<code bash>cd ptouch-print</code>
  * Install all required packages to build from source
<code bash>sudo apt install cmake gettext libgd-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev</code>
  * Then build the executeable:
<code bash>sudo bash ./build.sh</code>
  * If the command doesn't produce any errors the executeable was build successfully. Then start a test-print:
<code bash>sudo ./build/ptouch-print --text "Test"</code>
  * Finally you can move the executeable to ''/usr/bin'' to make it easier to access:
<code bash>sudo mv ./build/ptouch-print /usr/bin</code>
