Printing problem

I switshed from Win98 to XPPro on my PC.
My printer(Lexmark 1000) worked fine with 98, but when I try to make it work
with XP via
Control Panel-->Printers and Faxes-->Add Printer, I only get a little window
message telling me that
"The operation could not be completed".
The Print Spooler service is set to automatic, Remote Procedure call service
is started, even the RPC locator is running,
so I don't know where to start fixing this.
Anybody?
