Need to un-install Lexmark Pro805 driver


When I try to re-install the 64 bit deb driver, I get the following error:

The installer has detected previously installed components.
-- lexmark-inkjet-legacy
-- lexmark-wsu-legacy
Please remove all installed components and run the installer again.

I have already deleted the printer in the Hardware/Printing section of the control center, and removed EVERYTHING in a folder called lexmark, in /usr/lexmark

Lexmark doesn't provide a clue as to where these files are. Any answers?
Thanks in advance

Try
Code:
apt-get remove --purge <packagename>
to remove the driver package and purge all files that were created when it was initially installed.
