Ah but you did not uninstall correctly!

Disconnect printer from PC...

Follow Bruce Sanderson's instructions at
http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/CleanPrinterDrivers.htm

Do NOT miss out steps 14 thru 16!

After cleanup reboot. Download a new set of divers from www.lexmark.com
Install the software and do NOT reconnect the printer until the software
tells you to do so.

yes i did and i did a complete reinstall of xp
i connected the cable when i was promted to the printer
works on it's own as a copier can test print from printer
controls only not from computer
i downloaded new drivers from lexmark after i uninstalled
origianal drivers and still nothing.'

lexmark seems to think i have a problem with my usb port
but it says it's working properly
they mentioned updating usb drivers or chip set drivers
but can't figure out which ones to install .
i have a 440 intel chip set family processor
but theres 8 different ones to choose from and i really
dont want to screw them up?

Look for drivers from either the motherboard manufacturer's website or from
the PC manufacturer's website.
