Re: [Question #18190]: I have followed the instructions faithfully here - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PrintersBrotherMfc420cn. Will not print. Print jobs show in the list and the printer never prints. I have had a Linux IT tech work on this and he can't get CUPS to print either.

To start off, its been a while, I'm no code expert, and I'm not sure if I remember the code right.....but IRRC this was what I did.
Remove:
sudo rm -rf /etc/cups
Check to see, and manually remove the folders if not done.
To re-install:
sudo apt-get install cupsys cupsys-client

The firewall (Uncomplicated FireWall) will prevent re-install, and you can remove it by
sudo aptitude remove ufw 

after the deed is done try searching for packages that are not completely installed
sudo dpkg -l | grep -v ^ii to be sure it's all there.

Then re-install the firewall.
