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?
