Error 0x80070005 is a permissions error. Try this:
1. Completely uninstall any existing Lexmark drivers first
2. Download the latest Windows 11 compatible drivers from Lexmark's website
3. Right-click the installer and select 'Run as administrator'
4. If it still fails, try installing via Windows Settings > Printers & scanners > Add printer
5. Windows 11 might have built-in drivers that work better
