I recently purchased a Brother QL-700 label printer for printing address labels in Ubuntu 12.04. The Brother website lists Linux drivers, specifically for Ubuntu 8.04+. I have installed the driver and the printer shows up in System Settings → Printers, but the status there is stuck at "Processing - Waiting for printer to become available" and I'm unable to use the printer.

In case anyone's wondering, I have indeed:

  • Powered it on,
  • Connected it via USB,
  • Installed both the lpr and cupswrapper drivers listed, and
  • Followed the directions on Brother's site.

I'm kind of at a loss. Any help would be appreciated.

Running Ubuntu 13.10 amd64 I just followed the instrunctions on http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/instruction_esp1.html and it just works.

Caveat: turn off "Editor Lite" on the printer (hold little button on front until LED turns off) otherwise the printer will not be accssible to CUPS.
