It is supposed to Cynthia, else you would have to run it every time you 
wanted to print something.  It is a background task that uses minuscule 
amounts of cpu until there is something for it to do.  This machine 
currently has about 160 such tasks running and it is the normal amount for 
this machine.  You should have a similar number running in a "top" display.

I also snipped about 8.5 kilobytes of useless html code which your email 
agent did not properly mark with mimetype and is mostly junk text to a 
text-base email agent.  Please do not post html encoded emails to any 
mailing list.  It adds bulk to the message, and if not accompanied by plain 
text, will usually be ignored by most folks as it is rather hard to pick 
your message out of the html formatting codes it is buried in.
