One other thought is that you may have to re-add the lexjet printer
when you change the usb driver.  I.e.  you may not need to back out the
patch -- it may be just that you have to re-add the printer in Printer Setup.

But in any case, Jim, I got a panther usb for backing out the patch.   
It on my website at:
www.harrington.com/unusb.zip

It works similarly to the patch,  just run un-usb-patch.command.
