Microsoft Defender is not installed by default on XP.
Check the XP Firewall is allowing File and Print Sharing on both the PC with
the printer and the problem unit.
Check the Symantec website for an uninstall utility to check NAV is
completely removed. I think of it as borgware, a piece of software which so
assimilates the PC as to make it almost impossible to get rid of (other than
a format and clean install)

Don't think so
There is Microsoft Spyware which I think came with XP
XP Firewall
AVG Free Edition
MSGTAG - which sends back confirmation that an email has been opened
There used to be Norton Antivirus before AVG was installed

I don't understand why I need to purchase additional bits for PC2 since
PC1,
PC3 and the laptop work perfectly well on the same network - surely
there
is
something wrong with PC2?

failed

| We have asked for advice on about five user groups and nobody seems
to
know

|
| We have three PCs and a laptop on a wireless network all running
Windows XP
| Home Edition.
|
| We have D-Link DWL G520+ PCI Adapters on the PCs and a Linksys USB
adapter
| on the laptop. They communicate through a Linksys Broadband Gateway.
|
| Previously there was a dial up connection with a D-Link Wireless
Access
| Point. At that time we had PC1 and the laptop running Windows XP HE
and
PC2
| and PC3 running Windows 98SE.
|
| We had great problems with the link breaking down from PCs 2 and 3
both
to
| the internet and to the printer (Epson R200) which is connected to
PC1
by
| USB.
|
| Our supplier told us that the PCs were old and worn out and if they
were
| upgraded and running XP everything would be fine.
|
| We eventually succumbed and we now have new machines so everything
is
on
| Windows XP HE.
|
| Everything is fine apart from........... being able to print from
PC2.
|
| Small documents - say, a few lines of a Word doc or a small email
out
| OK but if it is something bigger then it takes forever. For example
printing
| a 165kB PDF file can take over 45 minutes. The printer dialogue box
showed
| the status as Printing...Spooling and the size as anything up to
about
9mB
| before it
| printed out. That's if you are lucky - sometimes it will not print
at
all. It
| makes no difference which program you are using.
|
| However, if you open the same document via the wireless link in PC1
or
the
| other machines and print from there it will print within seconds.
|
| PC 1, PC2 and PC3 are about eight feet apart (on apexes of a
triangle)
and
| the Linksys Gateway is about six feet above PC2. The laptop works
effectively
| up to 30 feet away through 2 feet thick stone walls.
|
| This has now gone on for months and I cannot get any sense
anywhere -
the
| most Iget is people say its a Printer Spooling problem but cannot
offer
any
| real help.
|
| Can somebody help please?
