I would try a few things..

Disable all sound devices in the device manager.

Download latest driver from Lexmark.

Does the printer have a setup.exe on the cd. possibly try that. If thats whats failing try the add printer wizard. Then direct it to the .inf

Final thing bit excessive but worth a try. Remove all sound componets from device manager. When prompted to reinstall on restart. Skip. Add printer.

Hope these ideas work.
