I'm trying to install my USB Brother PT1950 label maker on new W11. Officially W11 is not supported. The hardware is probably 20 years old. I found the driver for W7 but installation did nothing. The UI came up but would not print. A 2nd attempt failed because driver or printer was 'in use'. but I can't clean it up. Followed extensive instructions and rebooted. Still not clean.

Trying to figure out if this is worth chasing down or bite the bullet and buy a new one. I hate spending money for something that I only use very occasionally. Yes, I could use current one without the PC, but it is really a yucky on device keyboard. I like the UI of the software.
