it's safe!!! all it wants to do is allow your lexmark printer to run as a local server and access the internet.

open up the task manager and click on processes. you should see lexpps.exe and lexbces.exe running. that's normal, mine does the same thing.

it doesn't exactly have to be a "lexmark" printer. it could also be something associated with other "markvision" products that utilize the same drivers.

if you want to, end the lex process and print something. if it prints, don't use the process. in most cases, when you turn it off through task manager, it will automatically reappear. you'll have to type "services.msc" w/o the quotes in the run command and disable the process manually. thanks...
