ZA Alert - "Spooler subsytem is attempting to access the internet"

This has been happening for months on my PC :-

Evey once in a while - every couple of weeks or so, I have a major FIGHT with Colour Management, ...this includes fighting with Monitor colour profile creators Adobe Gamma and Praxisoft WIZYWIG, (both of which I constantly keep an eye on to make sure that after I've fiddled with them - they haven't planted themselves yet again in my Startup folder - I prefer to manually set my own *.ICM !).

My route to checking which monitor profile file is currently set is:-

Right-click an empty area of my desktop | Properties | Settings | Advanced | Colour Management

After booting up, (a fresh NORMAL startup i.e. not a hibernation startup), and part way into the above sequence - "Advanced" I think it is - I get a ZA firewall alert - "Spooler Subsystem is attempting to access the internet" This ZA alert doesn't appear again in the same Windows Session when I repeat the above sequence - and that's after dismissing that ZA alert WITHOUT checking the box "Always use this action for this type of alert" i.e. I just click "Deny"

Any ideas ?

....I have a suspicion that it's connected with Epson printer drivers, of which I have two installed - for two Epson Printers. Fiddling with the printer driver settings often makes ZA chuck up the above alert ! ...I think I read somewhere that the Epson printer ddrivers are not really trying to get out onto the interernet but, it's all to do with networking printers ??
