Description:

The lexstart.exe process enables diagnostic functions for older models of Lexmark printers. If the user runs Windows 95 and older versions of Microsoft Windows, in most cases this process will be working with the Windows Operating System smoothly.

Lexmark printer software adds the lexstart.exe file in the startup folder so that it can issue print commands, which users can send to a printer. The lexstart.exe file is required for the printer to work correctly except in the case of a Lexmark Z42. Once upgrade to motherboard or version of Windows is done, an update to the process lexstart.exe is also recommended.

The lexstart.exe file is one of the management utilities for Lexmark printers that provide control over the printing environment within a network. This multi-platform solution for print management allows IT administrators to manage and monitor network devices that function in various enterprise environments via the web browser.

The lexstart.exe process is associated with LexBce Server. Lexmark printers that are made in order to setup the networks onboard print server, install this service. The lexstart.exe process in association with the LexBce Server service makes the print spooler service startup, which effectively enables printing on the computer. The service is installed with the printer drivers of Lexmark X1100 series such as LexPPS version 8.29, and X2200 series such as LexPPS version 9.41. Other Lexmark printers may also have the service installed.
