Relatively new to linux/ubuntu. In Ubuntu 20.04.3, trying to get connected to brother printer. Printer printed yesterday after adding drivers, now won't print. Thought cups would be helpful in getting brother printer to print on a consistent basis. Downloaded cups, enabled it but nothing happens when entering start command.
Modern-15-A10M:~$ sudo systemctl start cups
Modern-15-A10M:~$
Then attempted to review status of cups and received error 67205.

I have uninstalled cups and downloaded from CUPS website and re-installed, same problem and same error. I have to exit out of terminal before I can move on.
Any suggestions to get cups to start?
