"device is busy. try again later."

I get this error when trying to print:
"Printer not ready. Device is busy. Try again later."

I just formatted the drive, and put XP Pro in. It's a
Lexmark x63, and it's connected via USB. I can't seem to
get it to work, ever. I've tried everything. I called
lexmark THREE times. All three times, their tech had me
try the same things, over and over again - 2 hours total
in my time. NEVER WORKED! haha.

Finally, with the last guy, he said that I needed to
contact microsoft. stupid idiots. hhahahaha.

Anyway, anyone have any idea what could be wrong? I've
tried anything and everything I can think of regaurding
drivers and hardware things.

Use Bruce Sanderson's instructions to COMPLETELY uninstall the printer and
reinstall it..... It may have occurred if you have your printer connected
during the installation of XP.... it is normal practice to keep the printer
disconnected during an upgrade or clean install.... and then correctly
install it afterwards.

After you've cleaned everything, reboot the PC.

Download a new set of XP drivers from the Lexmark website and install the
software. Do NOT reconnect the printer until XP tells you to do so.
