Why is my printer turning on at random?

My Lexmark turns on at random once every two or three days, stays on for a minute, then shuts back down.

Only the power cord is connected constantly ...I only connect the USB during use, and I haven't configured the wireless.

I also have the spooler and two other related processes turned off (set to manual), and they don't activate when this happens, so I have no idea what could be causing this. Any ideas?

    It may be checking the Print head and cleaning itself. It is a feature that insures clean print heads and increased profit for Lexmark.

    I have a Lexmark myself, and mine will turn on if a new device is connected (or if it thinks one is) and will go into power saving mode, if these things happen frequently then try troubleshooting or googling.
