I was finally able to print to QL 650 TD. Here is how I did it :

Went here:

http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public/us/us/en/dlf/download_top.html?reg=us&c=us&lang=en&prod=lpql650eus

Then clicked on "For Linux Users: Click here to get the Linux driver."

Then it took me here:
http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/index.html

Then clicked on "P-touch, QL/PJ-Printer Driver" which took me here:
http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/download_esp.html
#QL-650TD

Then downloaded :
LPR driver

and

cupswrapper driver (mm)

Then see install instructions "Install Instruction : lpr driver |
cupswrapper driver" links

basically I did: dpkg  -i  --force-all  ql650tdlpr-1.0.0-1.i386.deb

and

dpkg  -i  --force-all  ql650tdcupswrapper-1.0.0-1.debian.i386.deb

Also, I removed Ubuntu native P-Touch driver:

dpkg -r ptouch-driver

Then when adding the printer I selected for ubuntu to allow me to select
from the database.

Ubuntu loaded a list of drivers, and I was able to find the driver as :

Brother QL-650TD CUPS v1.1

The I was able to print to it even from Gedit.

Now I'm having an issue related blank printing, but I already found out
that it has to do with setting the correct dimensions for the paper /
midia. Because if it would send a complete A4 page to the printer and
the top left would be empty, it would probably just print the top left
of the all A4 cropped to the 62 mm x 90 mm that the printer knows it has
as midia. I hope it was not too confusing.
