No longer possible to print

Solved
titruffe -  
Hello,

Configuration: Linux / Chrome 92.0.4515.107

When I try to print (Canon Pixma TS8350) I get this error message: "No destination host name supplied by cups-browsed for printer "Canon_TS8300_series_USB_", is cups-browsed running?" -> yes, this process is running though
In CUPS, the printer is seen but it is indicated as "driverless"
But on Canon's website, I can only get a -rpm and not a .rpm; and alien is of no use to me either
I searched for a .deb driver but the same, I only find a -deb and gdebi does not recognize the package format either.
So:
- how to install a -deb package instead of a .deb?
- same question for a -rpm instead of a .rpm
- is it only a driver problem?

I would like to add that I had managed to make this printer work, but it broke down and turned out to be irreparable, so I have a brand new model. But it’s the same model that I managed to get working a month ago.
I remember having already had a problem setting it up, but I don’t remember what I did to make it work, I have to start from scratch and after 48 hours I’m throwing in the towel, I can't find any method working on the web and I don’t even know what’s wrong.

Thank you in advance to anyone willing to help me, knowing (I prefer to warn) that I’m a b*** in computing.

    Because only the .rpm was offered to me...

    Last night, Canon support gave me a link to the .deb and the installation went perfectly.

    I returned this morning to the driver download page and by selecting the same printer and OS, indeed there is the .deb, scangear, the source files...
    Maybe I stumbled upon a moment when these other files were not accessible, maybe a bug, maybe I was not doing it right (although I tried several times before contacting Canon)

    By the way, I find Canon support to be excellent! (This is my second call to them)

      Hello
      And why are you trying to install an .rpm package when the driver in .deb format is available for download on Canon's website?

        The problem is completely different, so please ignore my question.
        Now the problem is the following: when I try to install the driver provided by Canon (cnijfilter2-5.90-1.x86_64.rpm), here is what it gives: 

        sudo alien cnijfilter2-5.90-1.x86_64.rpm
        Warning: Skipping conversion of scripts in package cnijfilter2: postinst postrm
        Warning: Use the --scripts parameter to include the scripts.
        Package build failed. Here's the log:

        If I try the script:

        Of course, the supposed missing dependencies are not actually missing.
        And I am totally stuck.
