I found a solution to the problem. I had searched for one before, but after searching again with different search terms, I found that issuing this instruction worked:
sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq mfc8500lpr After warning against removal, the system went ahead and performed the removal (since it was forced) and then it restarted cups. All working fine now. -- Brother lpr driver failed installation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138378 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
