Lexmark - plus. Monitors/configs their printer. Can delay/inhibit shutdown or pwer off because it doesn't want to allow the OS to terminate it.

This is used by the Compaq A3000 and is part of the XP driver download from hp.com. I am not sure why it needs to have internet access (blocked by XP firewall).

Directly related to the "ViewAhead Photo Center" that was installed at the same time as your Lexmark Printer. Just uninstall "ViewAhead Photo Center" and it is gone
