This file is installed with some HP printers too. Print Spooler becomes dependent on this service. Kill it, and you can't print.

Once you install a Lexmark printer, you'll never again be allowed to use a different printer!

It mysteriously appeared after a windows update. WinPatrol caught it and I refused startup until I checked here. Checked task manager & it was there anyway. I removed it and my HP still prints. I do have a Lexmark & Dell installed that I haven't used because they drink ink. Guess I'll just keep removing it every morning.

It may not be dangerous, but it sure is a pain in the butt. Took me forever to figure out that this is what was wrong, and I'm especially annoyed that I have to go in and edit the registry. Thanks for the helpful information you kind folks have posted here, esp. to "Old Guy" for instructions to fix it!

Completely hosed my install of XP Pro, while attempting to install a Dell printer, correct XP driver downloaded directly from Dell. 8 minutes to boot, No taskbar, No Start menu, windows key broken, Windows installer service thrashed, No IE, No Outlook, etc. Tried every workaround here, plus a few MS knowledge base articles to fix, irreperably broken. Had to repartition and install Xp again, to even get my files back from C:// partiton as no DVD write, or USB transfer was working in current system state. Worst piece of crap driver I have ever seen! BEWARE!!

I installed a canon printer after my lexmark broke and discovered that LEXBCES was still needed as a service to allow the windows print spooler to run. However, when I renamed the system32 lexbces.exe to lexbcesno.exe, I was able to print successfully. I agree with old guy that the dependency was the problem and also that it's probably cleaner to use regedit, but for those who don't want to mess with the registry leaving the service enabled but disabling the file seems to work just fine. I can also rename it back if I discover it was needed. I also renamed lexpps to stop it from running.

I removed it because I don't use a Lexmark printer anymore, and it kills the entire print spooler upon doing so. I can't print with any printer anymore and now I'm searching for a solution to repair this problem.

yes it is a lexmark file and is loaded from the disk when installing a printer, its used when you have a network for printer sharing, it lays dormant till putting it to use. as for not being able to use iexplore due to it! ...i think you have pc issues you have no control over....sure delete the file if you dont have a printer its useless to you and wastes space on your harddrive, however keep it if you own a lexmark and running a network! if you dont have a network well keep it if you have installed it, its not the cause of any problem

If you've ever connected a Lexmark printer to your computer, you're stuck with this useless, backfiring monstrosity. To remove it, you have to mess around on the command line and in the registry. See instructions in various posts below. Very, very dangerous.

This worked for me: remove LEXBCES from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Spooler\DependOnService so that only RPCSS remains. Stop & Disable LEXBCES service & restart your computer.
