Hello !
so the other day i was given a lexmark x5150 printer but i do not have the installation cd and on my mac it does not read the scanner and i was hoping that someone can kindly tell me how to install
the whole printer lus scanner and photocopier and fax

Sorry no one responded. Were you able to get this going? Did you look on the Lexmark download page for manuals and drivers?

yes i did and it did not work

Sorry, I am afraid I am not a MAC user so I cannot offer any help.
