P-touch QL-500 had been working fine. Installed following updates on 10/14/17:
- Security update 2017-003
- Safari 10.1.2
- Remote Desktop Client Update 3.9.3
- Canon Inkjet Printer Software Update 3.4
Can no longer print to QL-500. After a short pause, the green link on the front of the labeler started blinking.
Went to Brother site.
Uninstalled driver, downloaded and installed driver 4.2.1
Uninstalled P-Touch Editor 5.0, downloaded and installed P-Touch Editor 5.1
Downloaded and installed P-Touch Update Software (Mac) 1.4.7
Turned on QL-500 (had turned off for installations)
Opened P-Touch Editor 5.1, message displayed saying that an updated driver was needed for that version of the editor. I ignored the message and was able to format a label.
When I select Print from the File menu, a message is displayed: The printer is not turned on or not connected directly to the Mac. OK to print?
I select OK, then Print. Nothing prints and the green light on the front of the labeler blinks rapidly.
The manual Feed button works on the labeler.

I saw a similar issue with a different P-Touch model. The solution was to get a Mac driver from Japan. Does anyone know how I could find out if thereʻs a driver for the QL-500, anywhere?
