When I suggested swapping the computers, I meant that the WinXP computer would be off the net and could do your photo job without the internet, and the Win7 could replace it as a net browser if you need to replace the Internet "seat" where the XP was before.

You apparently already have a WinXP driver for the printer you want to use. But of course you may have something else on the Win7 computer that you need for the photo job (????).

You may already have considered doing the photo editing job on the Win7 machine and then copying your finished image files back to a WinXP machine to print(?). If printing is all you do at that step, there should be minimal exposure to the internet distractions just while you print.

There are lots of "workaround" compromises that could be used, but of course none will be as convenient as having it all set up and working at a single station.
