Brother doesn't offer a labeling tool that runs on Linux, so I made it for them. This tool is based on ptouch-print and puts a Qt GUI on top.

Just running pLabels AppImage should be enough but...
- Make sure FUSE is installed.
- If nothing happens, run pLabels from terminal. The error message provides information about the problem.
- If the printer is not found, put this 71-brother-ptouch.rules udev rule file into the /etc/udev/rules.d dir
