What Scanner do you have? Make? Model?

OSX does not make noise or throw windows up when you plug in a scanner. Have you tried opening Image Capture in the Applications folder and seeing if the scanner is there? Check Lexmark's Homepage and see if there is OSX support for that printer.

Read this URL. Lexmark themselves aparently does not have drivers for OSX, but there is a driver. Follow the link at this URL.
