Consider learning to use a newsreader.

That's fine about the Lexmark printers, but the OP didn't tell us what
printer s/he is using, so that is making an unfounded assumption.

The next step is to ask the OP:

1. What printer do you have - make and model?
2. How are you installing - software first and then connecting printer?
3. Did you check to make sure the printer is supported under XP?

Then wait for the answers because otherwise it is a waste of time to
speculate.
