Brother P-Touch PT-18R

Is there a way to make a non-Mac printer work with a Mac? I have a Brother PT-18R Labeler that would be great to use through my Mac. I could share it through my LAN. Is there a way to make a custom driver, is there someone who does something like that?

Thanks,
EJ

Get the PPD here:

(Just remember where you save this)

Get foomatic and ESP ghostscript here and install both:

When you Add in Printer Setup, for model, choose Other , and that allows you to navigate to and choose the PPD.

Let us know how it works.
