Thus, I am now back in business with full functionality with the printer, scanner, and card readers. In addition, the Image Capture application works once again with the X5470. So, restart I did, and, what do you know? I went back to the Print & Fax Preference tab, and I saw that the printer listings (both my original one and the new one it created) had functioning Scan tabs. Now, the good news: I realized after installing the driver that I hadn't restarted.

Viewing / Printing photos from the Productivity Studio. If your printer is unresponsive, slow to print or the print quality is poor, updating to the latest. My "original" Lexmark 5400 Series printer was listed still, but the Scan tab went to a screen that continued to say Scanner not Connected. Printing photos from a CD or removable storage device using the computer. The 5400 Series is a printer manufactured by Lexmark. First, the bad news: it installed a "new" 5400 Series printer (in the Print & Fax Preference tab under System Preferences) but with very few options, and the tab for Scan was gone. With my hopes up, I downloaded and installed the driver. I found that on Lexmark released a driver file called "Lexmark 5400 Web Installer 10.6.dmg". For months, I haven't needed the scanner until today, so I dug around Lexmark's website. Lexmark CS (or lack thereof) was of no help. I had the same problem (printer worked, but scanner and card readers did not) with my Lexmark X5470 after updating to Snow Leopard.
