Business printers and devices have driver problem

My biggest problem after installation of 10.5 is that I use my laptop in a prepress business and I lost nearly all of my print drivers. I did a rights repair and still no luck. I'm guessing that none of the high end business copier printers we have in the shop have 10.5 drivers. If so I'm kind of aggravated. Why would they make 10.5 so incompatible with IO devices. Doesn't make any sense. It's a guarantee for a ton of customer service problems.
It also hung while entering form data and I had to hard reboot it. That almost never happened with 10.4. Getting more of the spinning wheels than I would like as well. No reason for them that I can see.

  Hi, I have windows 7 and just got a printer - lexmark x5495
 unfortunately Windows cant find the right driver 4 the printer via windows update...
 I have downloaded  driver for win 7 32, 64 bit, windows vista even windows xp and non of them is good!!! :(
 I was looking all over google for somebody to solve that problem and nothing!
 on the lexmark and windows websites it says printer is compatible but must be something wrong with driver
 btw it works 100% under win xp and it is not any printer spool  problem...
 can somebody help me, please
Could you be more specific when you mention none of the drivers is good? Is there any exclamation mark in device manager for the printer? And what makes you think the problem lies with the drivers and not the printer itself or the way you setup the drivers?
Suggest you to uninstall the printer drivers from device manager, next reboot your pc and ensure the printer is power on and plug in, next let windows 7 detect and assign drivers by itself instead of using the drivers downloaded.
If still no go after the above, run the drivers in xp or vista compatble mode under windows 7
