Label Maker that Works with MacOS Ventura

I've had a Brother P-Touch 2700 label maker for years and it was still working fine until I upgraded to Ventura. Brother apparently no longer supports this model. So I purchased a new Brother label maker, the P-Touch D460BT, but quickly learned that Brother does not have the necessary printer driver, etc. for Ventura for this model. I have been trying unsuccessfully to connect with Brother's customer service for 17 days and have finally given up. I will return the new label maker to Staples today. Does anyone happen to know of a relatively inexpensive label maker that runs with Ventura? I only print labels for garden markers. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I have an iMac, with OS 13.2 and should mention that I also have a MacBook Pro that runs on Monterey, but I encountered the same problems with the two Brother machines being incompatible with Monterey as well. Thanks very much!

iMac 27″, OS X 10.11

No issue on my Mac. I just opened Apple menu > App Store and searched "Brother P-Touch" and their P-Touch Editor was the first item in the search results. (This is in the U.S. - not sure about other countries)

Their website https://support.brother.com/g/b/oslist.aspx?c=us&lang=en&prod=d460bteus states that Ventura is supported for the D460BT.

Have you seen the following from the User Manual for the P-Touch D460BT https://download.brother.com/welcome/docp100668/pt-d460bt_useng_qsg_d026k8001a_02.pdf

Yes. I got that far as well, but I wasn't able to get my printer to show, even when I followed instructions to add the printer to the printer list manually.

But the good news is that this morning a very helpful employee at Staples suggested a Brother label maker that can act as either a standalone unit that prints without having to be connected to the computer or can be hooked up to the computer. I returned the prior purchase and received a $79 credit. The label maker he suggested was $59 on sale for $39 and he said he was sure I'd be pleased with it.

Thanks for all of your help!

Thanks, FoxFIfth. I've seen all of this, but when you try to find the software to download, it's nowhere to be found, either on the Brother website or in the Apple App Store.
