They recently made a tool that handle the update to a new LTS. I upgraded from mint 20 to 21 and it went very well aside from the the printer stopping. Tried everything and it still doesn't work. It's not even a modern DRM galore bullshit printer, It's an ancient canon lbp6000 laser printer so I honestly don't know why it stopped.

If anyone got any idea how to fix it, I'd highly appreciate it.

I’m so sorry… it seems like your printer has daemons in it…

Make sure CUPS is running, go to http://localhost:631 to see the administration interface for CUPS. You'll probably wanna checkout the ArchWiki page about CUPS too, it's relevant to many distributions. If it's a USB printer and not IPP you'll need to make sure the right drivers are being used. IPP printers work outta the box.

Thanks a ton for your help. Yes, it's a USB printer and I got it originally working in mint 20 by installing the driver using a github script because the official driver didn't work for some reason. Hopefully, it will work again. Thanks again.

Run the script again?
