The below documentation has been vetted on the following distributions and releases using a Canon MF269dw (TPE-CANLSR269). The documentation should also be applicable to the Canon imageCLASS D570 (TPE-CANLSR570). More specifically for the Linux Mint 22 directions below we verified it under Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon edition. For the Debian 12 directions we did a standard install using the net installer (defaults to installing the GNOME desktop environment). The documentation for Debian 12 with GNOME installed should also be applicable to those on Ubuntu 22.04.
If you are on another distribution or release and need up to date documentation please contact support and let us know which distribution, release, and model printer you have.
