If a message is displayed instructing you to choose the CUPS printer driver

When printing, a message may be displayed instructing you to choose the CUPS printer driver depending on the version of your OS. If this occurs, choose the CUPS printer driver using the following procedure.
1
Choose the Apple Menu - [System Preferences] – [Print & Scan] or [Printers & Scanners].
2
Choose your Brother printer in the [Printers] section.
3
Verify which printer driver is used. This can be found next to [Kind].
If “(Model name) - Air Print” is displayed in [Kind], the Air Print printer driver is chosen. The Air Print printer driver does not support P-touch Editor, so you should add the CUPS printer driver.
