The spoolsv.exe is the printer spool, which you need in order to print. Most likely, "192.168.0.3" is a computer on your network (you DO have a network?). Port 427 is used by the spool service to notify computers on the network that the spool service is available.
The "Internet Sharing Configuration" part of the message pertains to the Internet Connection Firewall (Windows Firewall). You may be getting this message because you have both NIS and the Windows Firewall running. Or you may have turned on Internet Connection Sharing (ICS allows one computer to share its connection with others). It is best to have only one firewall running; you should probably just let NIS take care of things.
You can probably allow this activity without any problems. It may just be a consequence of using that particular all-in-one printer. I have seen similar posts on HP support forums for that kind of printer.

Got a new HP Photosmart c6180 All In One printer,copier, fax, thing. After installing it keep getting the following pop up message:.
" Internet Sharing Configuration
c:\\windows\system32\spoolsv.exe is attempting to change or view this computers internet connection protection settings. To give c:\\windows\system32\spoolsv.exe permission to edit these settings for as long as the program is open, click yes.
beneath that are buttons for YES, NO, andMORE INFORMATION.
Mor info yields nothing. No makes it go away for a little while but moments later it comes back again. Haven't clicked yes.
Didn't click YES b/c 2nd msg came up from Norton Internet Security Program Control stating High Risk hpqnrs08.exe is attempting to connect to a computer at 192.168.0.3:427 using port 427. This is high risk b/c not digitally signed."
My question to anyone reading is can you tell me in really basic terms what on earth the msgs mean and how do i get rid of them?
Also wondering does anyone know, or know how i can find out, what "address" is 192.168.0.3 ?
THANK YOU so much
