What is webprinter.exe!!?

I posted this earlier this week here and I now cannot find the
message....sooo I am reposting.

After recently going to Verizon DSL service, I started to notice different
programs wanting access to the internet thru Zone Alarm Pro such as
'webprinter.exe'. I also get sporadic request to allow MS 'spoolsv.exe' to
access or sometimes Act As Server on my system. I have queried Google for
the webprinter.exe and get no valid explanation for this program. I am
inquisitive as to what other application might have reared its' head in the
last several days that might want to gain access thru this program.
Spoolsv.exe on the other hand has only recently asked for access to the
internet recently. Could this be some type of hidden virus that may have
been picked up by one of my family users? If you have information, please
help. Thanks in advance . . . . Tom J.

Thanks Carey, currently have a thread on this site related to the general
problem of allowing access. My real question here was to hopefully find an
answer to what specific service does 'webprinter.exe and spoolsv.exe'
provide. Sorry, I'll try to be a little more clear the next time around.
Thanks in advance . . . . . Tom J.
