Open MCC and go to Hardware > Configure printing and scanning. Delete the printer.
Then, while still in MCC go to Software Management > Install & Remove Software
Search for cups and uninstall. It should also warn you that it will uninstall hplip and a bunch of other printer related packages. That's OK.
You probably don't really need to, but I would then reboot.
After your computer is rebooted, hook the printer up. Then go back to MCC, configure the printer and it will install the needed packages to do so.
