spooky - it is set as default printer in control panel - i keep thinking it may be something to do with vista, nothing seems to work on it!

"installed it on my laptop (running Vista basic)" I'll bet the CD doesn't have Vista compatible drivers on it. Read the label AND the Lexmark User Manual FIRST.
Then, go to the website and download the Vista drivers. If unavailable, call Lexmark and complain.

It is not open office or adobe that is at fault, it maybe that you have not set your lexmark printer as default for those programs. cntrol panel printers and scanners, and select your lexmark printer as default printer.
