FAQs & Troubleshooting

P-touch Editor shows an error message "This application is incompatible with the AirPrint printer driver. Select the CUPS printer driver. Check the FAQ for details." (For macOS 12 or earlier).

P-touch Editor does not support the AirPrint printer driver. You need to choose the CUPS printer driver.
To choose the CUPS printer driver, perform the following steps:

 

  1. Choose Apple Menu => System Preferences => Print & Scan / Printers & Scanners.

  2. Choose your Brother machine in the Printers section and check the printer driver in use.
    If [Model name + AirPrint] is displayed for Kind, the AirPrint printer driver is chosen.

  5. Choose your machine from the Name list.

  6. Choose "[model name]+ CUPS" from the Use list.

    If you cannot find "[model name]+ CUPS", the CUPS printer driver is not installed. Download and install the latest CUPS printer driver from the [Downloads] section.
