Lexmark Printer Z715: Error 1068

>
> ::I installed the print driver for my Lexmark Z715 from the Lexmark
> website on my new PC running Vista 32bit and it was working fine. A
> couple of days later when I sent documents to be printed, the print
> showed that it was offline. I tried several fixes and then decided to
> uninstall and reinstall the driver. The uninstall said it was
> successful but when I attempted to reinstall, it said that a previous
> version was on the machine and I needed to uninstall. I can find it
> anywhere and the driver appears to be uninstalled!::
> ::When I go into services.msc and look at the print spooler, the

> click "Start" I receive *error 1068*.::
> ::When I go into the "Printers" Under the Control Panel, nothing is
