Re: lexmarkp3150 and windows home xp sp1

Delete the printer that is using the driver(that's why the OS informs you it
is in use), then delete the driver. Lexmark has a cleanyourlexmarkdriver
uninstall utility for most of their printers. Or follow previous
instructions to completely remove the driver and any additional software
that will cause the spooler not to start once the printer is gone.

then reinstall the driver
