I've got 2 PC's connected by cables to a router with a built in printer port, and one printer which I share between the 2 PC's.

Up until recently I've been able to print OK, but now I get an intermittent fault where sometimes documents will print and other times they won't. I've recently installed Win XP SP3 and then de-installed. Hardware details below:

VAIO laptop - most of the print problems
Evesham desktop PC - OK
Draytek Vigor 2900VG router
Canon Pixma ip4200 printer
Win XP Home SP2
Latest Canon printer drivers

I've de-installed and re-installed the printer and also the TCP/IP port - makes no difference, i.e works sometimes, doesn't on others

Any suggestions on what else I can try???
