Thanks for the help, all is now working fine. In future I will steer clear of the Lexmark TCP/IP ports!

Hi All...<br />
<br />
I have a number of Windows XP machines that are unable to start the Lexmark LexBce service, which in turn means they are unable to print to any networked Lexmark Printer. <br />
<br />
The issue started as a result of a Trojan that was found by Trend Micro Internet Security on the machines called TROJ Generic.ADV. Once the Trojan had been removed/cleaned up, the Print Spooler service would not start due to one of its' dependent services (LexBce) also not being started. After removing LexBce from the list of dependent services, Print Spooler was able to be started, and the printers were again visible...<br />
<br />
except every networked Lexmark printer was then set to offline, and when I attempt to start the LexBce service, I recieve the following message <br />
<br />
&quot;Could not start the LexBce server on the local computer. Error 2: the system cannot find the file specified.&quot;<br />
<br />
Reinstalling the Lexmark print drivers doesn't resolve the problem either.<br />
<br />
Any ideas?

LexBce Service unable to start

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.

Windows XP

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.
