Compiling printer driver from source - Brother QL-700 - Raspberry Pi Forums

hey everyone, i've been trying brother ql-700 ticket printer work on raspberry pi 2 no luck far.

what i've tried according recomendations: [optional]
* choosing similar model same brand when adding printer in cups
* playing cups's configuration file
* --force-architecture'ing i386 deb packages available printer
* since printer shows after connecting through usb without installing drivers, tried picking , loading ppd file that's included in source files
* making sure "lite" led off.

what need with:
want compile driver arm, being noob am, i'm not sure how go around i'll describe think should do, maybe can tell me if i'm missing something:

first of all, source provided vendor (attached if cares check it) contains following:
* ppd file
* bash file commands
* folder .h (header?), .c file , makefile

think should this:
1.- install pre-requisites compiling

code: select all

 sudo apt-get install build-essential libcups2-dev libcupsimage2-dev

2.- go inside folder makefile , compile:

code: select all

sudo make sudo make install

3.- add printer , load pdd file.

if has done similar please heads or if see obvious flaw on these steps, please point them out. don't have raspberry in hands right haven't been able try yet appreciated tips ahead of time.

in advance!
