Had similar problem with Lexmark too. I had to remove Active X Control and
also temporarily switch off Firewall whilst I installed it. Has worked ok
since, so may be worth trying

See Alan Morris [MSFT]'s reply under "Problems adding shared printer |",
dated 8-14-07. I tried the download he mentioned
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938979
) and it fixed the problem.
