Printer driver for Canon MX452 [duplicate]

Does anyone know how I can get my Canon Pixma MX452 running on Ubuntu 13.04, either via USB or 802.11? I tried to install in 13.04 via USB, but it used a generic text-only driver which didn't work at all. No scanner functionality either.

Thanks in advance!

I have managed to install both the printer and scanner drivers for my Canon MX452, you can grab them from here,

• Printer: http://support-sg.canon-asia.com/contents/SG/EN/0100515301.html

• Scanner: http://support-sg.canon-asia.com/contents/SG/EN/0100517701.html

In both cases, you will have to extract the tar balls, and run the install.sh script. To run the script you might have to make it executable by running:

$sudo chmod a+x install.sh
$./install.sh

The printer script will have menus for you to choose between find the printer via USB or Network. I installed mine via network, but in both cases you need to have the printer powered and ready.

I wasn't able to use my scanner using "Simple Scan" but the "scangearmp" application that is installed by the script works just fine. You can start it from terminal by running:

$scangearmp &
