A Firewall question

When I switch users on my home computer, I often get a Firewall message
asking me if I want to continue blocking LEXPPS.EXE.

I didn't know that I was blocking this program and I am not sure what it
does (apart from being a Lexmark file of some sort although I don't
knowingly have a Lexmark printer).

Does anyone know about LEXPPS.EXE and whether it should or should not be
blocked by the XP firewall?

Many thanks
David

This process is usually installed with Lexmark printer drivers and is used
for printer sharing. By default it starts automatically when the system
starts. If your PC is not networked or you don't share the printer you can
(and probably should) stop it from automatically starting.

Good thought - looks like I don't need it at all. I'll hide it for a while and see what happens.

Thanks for your help
