Wierd-if browser open-won't print!

Wierd network problem: My config: Cablemodem-->DLink DI-604-->Switch> >Computer1-192.168.0.100 >Computer2-192.168.0.101 >EFI-XeroxPrinter-192.168.0.203 The printer is a static address and won't show on the router.

As soon as the web window is closed, files print fine. Of course when files won't print it's still possible to ping the printer. What could be causing this bizzare situation? Thanks!
