How to reinstall CUPS after removing it?
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
The correct command in the solution should be
sudo cp /usr/share/cups/cupsd.conf.default /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
