weird printing prob continued

this is the 1st post:

Can't work this one out. Have purchase a lexmark z617 and tried to install
on an xp machine. All installed fine (went through lexmark install rather
than xp install). Printer appears in the printers and faxes. In the lexmark
solution centre, the media levels are all fine...but....if I try to print
anything, the printer clunks, the job is sent to the queue, the lexmark
printing status monitor comes up (this shows a question mark next to the
toner levels), the print queue then says deleting and nothing prints.

It isn't the printer - it installed on a different pc and works fine. I
tried to delete the usb printer port but it wouldn't let me. I attached a
dell printer and got exactly the same problem. I disabled the firewall -
didn't make any difference. Now I'm getting fed up!

had a reply suggesting this:

Well Dell printers are manufactured by Lexmark so....

Uninstall and reinstall it:

If you receive a 1068 Service or Dependency error, see steps 15 through 17

and following it through - however.....problem still exists.

If appears are though xp printing is up the spout......don't want to resort
to a full resbuild of xp - has any one got any other ideas?

thanks

My only suggestion may be out of line, but if the printer (Lexmark) is
still under warranty try to take it back and exchange it for an HP or Epson!!!
