printer problem

I have a Lexmark LX1180 printer scanner which used to work pertfectly on my Evesham computer running XP sp2

There are 6 USB2 ports on the computer which all work with other USB devices

Now when I connect the printer it is recognised by pnp as a USB hub and when pnp looks for the driver to install it can not find it

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the printer software manually many times but all I get is can’t communicate with the printer

Any one any ideas as what to try next
