The file lxtcoms.exe is a driver element for Lexmark printers and scanners, and is identified as a Printer Communication System. This process is required to run during system start-up to allow its functionality as part of the printer subsystem to work. The printing process starts when the printer driver receives the communication from the computer's operating system for a print job. The driver is the software responsible for sending the data to the printer. It performs checks to ensure that the printer is functioning properly, and then translates the application data into a format that the printer understands. The data communicated by the computer is stored in the printer's file or buffer and printing starts only when the file transfer from the computer to the printer has been completed. The transfer of the data from the printer to the paper depends on the style of the printer. Image or data transfer is done by spraying the ink into the paper (inkjet), or by fusing onto the paper (laser).
