I run Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit and I have a Canon PIXMA MG5450 printer connected to the PC with cable. I turn it on and it is not recognized automatically, I can't find any drivers official drivers for it.

Is there any unofficial driver that make it work?

On the Swiss Canon support site, I found the driver source code for the PIXMA MG5400. Just scroll all the way down and hit "Akzeptieren & Herunderladen" (Accept and Download).

You'll receive a tar.gz archive containing the source code. Extract it and open a terminal in the directory cnijfilter-source-3.80-1 where you extracted it.

Execute the command chmod +x scripts/install_deb/install.sh, then execute scripts/install_deb/install.sh

The make, make install way doesn't work, as the Makefile is corrupted...

This might do it. However, I don't know how old this is and how well it is maintained.

EDIT: The other answer points to Canon Singapore, which provides a prepackaged version of the driver for Debian: http://support-sg.canon-asia.com/contents/SG/EN/0100467602.html?r=s&q=

Download, extract, and run the installer script.
