Searched the Linux Mint forum and found the following solution that fixed the printer issue:

How to reinstall CUPS after removing it?

60

As nobody has answered yet, I try to help you, but I don't know if the commands are the right ones.
On ubuntuusers.de are shown these commands for ubuntu 24.04 Zorin 18 is based on:

sudo apt install cups cups-client cups-bsd

You may also need those if you have removed them:

sudo apt install hplip printer-driver-gutenprint
61

The correct command in the solution should be

sudo cp /usr/share/cups/cupsd.conf.default /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

I edited the post marking solution with this correction you spotted.
Also added it to the sticky.
