+About:
+
+ptouch is a command line tool to print labels on Brother P-Touch
+printers on Linux.
+
+There is no need to install the printer via CUPS, the printer is accessed
+directly via libusb.
+
+The tool was written for and tested with the PT-2430PC, but it should also
+work with the PT-1230PC (untested so far).
+Maybe others work too (please report USB VID and PID so I can include support
+for further models, too).
+
+Further info can be found at:
+https://mockmoon-cybernetics.ch/computer/p-touch2430pc/
+
+Compile instructions:
+
+autoreconf -i
+./configure --prefix=/usr
+make
+
+Note:
+
+Dear visitor, currently I have absolutely no time for improvements on this
+project (my free time currently is about one or two hours PER MONTH).
+Therefore, I can not look at suggestions about improvements.
