Brother pt-9200dx not printing in 18.04

Damm even I am having a similar kind of issue, I have searched all over the internet and even have posted on number of threads on different forum, no solution seems to work. I am really frustrated, can anyone of you here help me resolve this issue, I am very much tired now.

How did you install the driver?
What steps did you take?

Install was a straight forward "add printer" and selected pt-9200dx. Checked the printer for functionality on a win 7 using "Install Printer"

Brother make debs for most of their line of devices. Check their website and you can update the drivers. May just help

Sorry for the late reply, CC was hacked at gas station know how to prevent it now.

I looked for a deb drive and could not find one. Search was brother pt 9200dx printer deb

Did not find anything

Odd, that a pt 9300pc driver is also installed, brother does not list a pt 9200dx, this driver will make the printer spit out a blank tape

https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/printer-driver-ptouch
[Ctl+Alt+t] Open a terminal: sudo apt-get ptouch
Or install it with Synaptic Package Manager

Used synaptic to install ptouch: No joy

I broke down and installed Win 7 on another drive..yuck. This will get the job done for now would love to get it working with Ubuntu if there are any more ideas?

An idea:
https://github.com/philpem/printer-driver-ptouch

no idea what to do with the info in this link. I'm a bit of a nube

Ok, let's start from the beginning.

Please open a terminal window (e.g. by simultaneously pressing ctrl-alt-t) and issue the following commands:

uname -a
lsb_release -crid
sudo apt update
sudo apt install printer-driver-ptouch

Then select all output and copy/paste it into this question document that we can see the results.

Thank you for your help

Is the problem already solved or do you need further help?

If solved, then please mark the question as solved,
if not, then please provide the full output of the commands as requested.

Still need help, tried after this update, no change.

One note, I could not get it to work on win7 without installing the brother editor program. The menu control appear to be graphic type controls. I have been using openoffice.

Could that be the issue?

Thanks for sticking with me on this

What are you asking for? my# 23 post as requested in post #23

See the list of commands in comment #22 of https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/695631
comment #23 shows only the output of one of the commands (namely the third), but there were four commands.

did that on 23#

oops, I'll redo

2 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them.

I give up.
I do not know what I have to do that you send the full output of the commands as requested.

uname -a
lsb_release -crid
sudo apt update
sudo apt install printer-driver-ptouch

This is copy and paste from prompt to prompt of the commands your listed. I also did these upgrades,
3 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them.

Since this is prompt to prompt what am I missing?

You are missing the output of the last command:
