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 here.

Tested on Ubuntu24.04

• First clone the repository:

git clone https://git.familie-radermacher.ch/linux/ptouch-print.git

• Enter the directory:

cd ptouch-print

• Install all required packages to build from source

sudo apt install cmake gettext libgd-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev

• Then build the executeable:

sudo bash ./build.sh

• If the command doesn't produce any errors the executeable was build successfully. Then start a test-print:

sudo ./build/ptouch-print --text "Test"

• Finally you can move the executeable to /usr/bin to make it easier to access:

sudo mv ./build/ptouch-print /usr/bin
