I assume you've tried looking in Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, for any mention of Lexmark and Brother - and uninstalling whatever you find?
Then, in Control Panel under the Devices And Printers category (not sure which version of Windows you've got) you can right-click and Remove the printers. Then, if you are having trouble removing specific files you can try doing it from Safe Mode. Windows won't let you delete files that are in use. Then, if you seriously want to nuke any files you can try one of the free file removal tools available, like... Delete Doctor: http://www.download3k.com/Install-Delete-Doctor.html This is a tiny utility that I've found to be extremely effective at getting rid of stubborn files. Be sure NOT to click on the big, green DOWNLOAD buttons - they are advertisements. Just click on one of the mirror sites to start the download.
