What is your desktop environment ? Does just connect the printer work ?

Hello, I've always used Windows and I started using 4QoS today. The printer is connected via USB and I haven't been able to configure it; it worked perfectly fine in Windows. Can you explain to me what 'desktop environment' is?

It's a desktop session you are using. Plasma or Trinity or other ?
The printer should work out of the box.

If this is the i-SENSYS MF3010 then Canon provides a linux driver for this machine
https://www.canon.co.uk/support/consume … f3010.html
You will wind up with a file called linux-UFRII-drv-v630-m17n-07.tar.gz
Assume you have saved this to your Downloads folder.
I also have to assume you did full Desktop Profile install when you installed Trinity.
Right click on the file and go down to Extract here. That just unpacks the file - it's a bit like a zip file.
This file contains drivers for other linux type systems - hence why it is so large.
You will then have a folder called linux-UFRII-drv-v630-m17n
Open it and go to the folder called x64
Open that and go to the Debian folder
You'll see a file called cnrdrvcups-ufr2-uk_6.30-1.07_amd64.deb
Double click that and it should open the QSI installer and install the driver. If there ate any missing dependencies on your system it should bring in anything else that is needed.
Make sure your printer is switched on and usb connected, reboot and then go to the print settings tool.
You should find the printer is picked up.
