Problem with Lexmark printer/driver ?

The program I'm working on allows the user to do some printing.
It works fine with my Epson R220.
One of my users is having problems with his new Lexmark Z617 (print preview is blank except for 1 black pixel in the centre and page setup dialog is blank!) but it works fine with his old Epson 600.

I installed the Lexmark driver and tried my software.
I got the same results as my user ie. no good.
I installed several other printer drivers and my software works fine.

Looking through the help (and thinking there must be something wrong with my code) I found this and tried it:

Public Class Form1
'This method displays a PageSetupDialog object. If the user clicks OK in the dialog, selected results of
' the dialog are displayed in ListBox1.

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Try
' Initialize the dialog's PrinterSettings property to hold user defined printer settings.

PageSetupDialog1.PageSettings = New System.Drawing.Printing.PageSettings

' Initialize dialog's PrinterSettings property to hold user

' set printer settings.

PageSetupDialog1.PrinterSettings = New System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings

'Do not show the network in the printer dialog.

PageSetupDialog1.ShowNetwork = False

'Show the dialog storing the result.

Dim result As DialogResult = PageSetupDialog1.ShowDialog()

' If the result is OK, display selected settings in

' ListBox1. These values can be used when printing the

' document.

If (result = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK) Then

Dim results() As Object = New Object() _

{PageSetupDialog1.PrinterSettings.PrinterName, _

PageSetupDialog1.PageSettings.Margins, _

PageSetupDialog1.PageSettings.PaperSize, _

PageSetupDialog1.PageSettings.Landscape, _

PageSetupDialog1.PageSettings.Bounds, _

PageSetupDialog1.PageSettings.HardMarginX, _

PageSetupDialog1.PageSettings.HardMarginY, _

PageSetupDialog1.PageSettings.PaperSource, _

PageSetupDialog1.PageSettings.PrintableArea, _

PageSetupDialog1.PageSettings.PrinterResolution, _

PageSetupDialog1.PageSettings.PrinterSettings, _

PageSetupDialog1.PrinterSettings.PrintRange, _

PageSetupDialog1.PrinterSettings.IsDefaultPrinter, _

PageSetupDialog1.PrinterSettings.PaperSizes.Count}

ListBox1.Items.AddRange(results)

End If

Catch ex As Exception

MsgBox(ex.Message, MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly)

End Try

End Sub

End Class

Clicking Button1 brings up a page setup dialog, clicking OK on the dialog lists some of the settings of the printer in a ListBox.
Strange thing is, the above works with the Lexmark when run from the IDE but if I Publish it and then install it, when I click Button1 the software just closes with no error message or anything. Works fine with any other printer.
My own app. also works ok with the Lexmark when I run it from the IDE.

Does anyone have any idea why they fail with the Lexmark Is it the printer driver Why do they work when run from the IDE but not when installed using Click-Once

I'm Confused
