Class: BrotherQLDiscovery ​

PrinterDiscovery implementation for Brother QL printers.

listPrinters() enumerates USB and skips printers in Editor Lite mass-storage mode (a warning is logged — the user has to switch them out of Editor Lite manually). Network printers open via openPrinter({ host, port }); there is no mDNS implementation so listPrinters() never surfaces them.
