hmmmmmm Try an uninstall and search for lexmark and delete any folders (leave them in the bin for now) Then go into regedit and back up your registry ,start run regedit.Then file export to file and save your registry.Then click edit and find and search for lexmark entries and delete all keys that have lexmark in them (at your own risk but you have backed up reg so you can recover) Once all lexmark references are gone try to install your vista ready driver (off a cd? or try the download or web install or whatever they offer)

Thanks Zing, I don't know about regedit, and backing up, that is out of my league, and I am not going to tamper with things I don't know about. I have sent an email to Lexmark for technical support (free on the internet) and have printed out their instructions, so will have another bash and see what happens. Will let you know. Appreciate all you help!

Tried everything, still not printing, but I can scan and edit photos, so will just have to content myself with that.:(
