can't remove a broken package in Ubuntu

[Madison Kelly]

Hi all,

   I installed a couple .deb packages trying to get my Brother QL-550 
label printer working (and failing). Now I have been unable to remove 
the package ql550cupswrapper... I keep getting the error:

# apt-get remove ql550cupswrapper -f
Reading package lists... Done

The following packages will be REMOVED:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Any idea what I can do to force the removal of this package?

I've tried fixing broken packages, but no luck. This is particularly 
troublesome as I can't install new packages or update the system.

Thanks!

Madi
