WinXP did block it from internet access before I in stall Norton Firewall; Norton does not block it from internet access. Will follow Scott D advise to be on the safe side.

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

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).
