Go here. It takes a few seconds to load everything. In the 'Select OS' box, select Window Me. After a few more seconds, you should see the driver files you need to make your printer work with your computer.

Hard-disk initialization
CAUTION A hard-disk initialization erases and reformats the printer hard disk. Perform a hard-disk
initialization only if an error code on the control panel indicates an EIO disk error. Always try
initializing the hard disk before replacing it.
NOTE Before performing a hard-disk initialization, print a menu map and a configuration page (see
Menu map and Configuration page). Use the information on the configuration page to reset
any customer-set printer configuration values that the hard-disk initialization procedure
changes.

be sure that the printer is not plugged into the computer before beginning installation. And that all previous attempts at installing are uninstalled.

most probably the driver that you are loading for your lexmark is incompatible with vista and you need to load the vista compatible drivers. you can download them from the link below
