Cannot connect to printer (error 0x00000771, error 0x00000002)

I'm having difficulties connecting to a printer from my computer. When I tried to directly access the printer and see if there were printing jobs backed up, I got a message telling me that the printer had been deleted (error 0x00000771).
I then deleted the icon, and tried going through the process of redownloading the driver. I then got the following message: printer driver was not installed. Operation could not be completed (error 0x00000002).

I am unsure how to proceed.

Can't share printer—getting error message

Step 1: Go to store.
Step 2: Buy a less shitty printer.
Step 3: Pick up some beer while you are there.
Step 4: Enjoy both your new printer and your beer.

In all seriousness, I have had more issues with Lexmark printers and their shitty drivers then any other manufacturer, HP is a close second though.

However, if you don't want to get a new printer*Laugh :laugh:, and I can understand that, when my Lexmark was giving me the same troubles in Win7(and Vista) I had to make sure the Windows firewall was ON and the firewall service was enabled and running. After I shared it I could re-disable the firewall and firewall services.
