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.
