Every QCAD Professional installation comes with an integrated, searchable user reference manual under Help > Reference Manual.

You can also browse the manual online at:
http://qcad.org/doc/qcad/latest/reference/en/

For an overview of all available documentation, please refer to:
http://www.qcad.org/en/qcad-documentation

If you are new to QCAD or CAD in general, you might want to consider the book / e-book "QCAD - An Introduction to Computer-Aided Design" which introduces all the basic concepts of CAD (layers, blocks, drawing, modification, etc.):

The electronic user manual is indeed not intended for printing.

Printing the complete reference manual is generally discouraged (you can browse and search it using the integrated help viewer).

If you really want to print the whole manual, here's an (unofficial) single file compilation:
