Can't Print After Windows XP SP2 installation

[User]

Hello,

We have a Web system running on SQL server. Recently we received several
calls from users that installed Windows XP SP2 not able to view/print
reports in system from Internet Explorer (where MS-Word does not open with
the report showing from Internet Explorer). I turned off the Pop-up
Blocker, the Firewall and it still doesn't allow printing. The problem only
occurs on Windows XP with Service Pack 2.

Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

It is possible that the File & Printer Sharing has not been placed in the
Exceptions list of the Windows Firewall. Start>Control Panel>Windows
Firewall, click on the Exceptions tab and place a check mark for the File &
Printer Sharing.

According the same problem:

Printing from Autocad to networkprinter Canon IRC624 is still exremely slow
when xp fire wall is turned off. When uninstalling sp2 the problem
disappeares.

Any solution?
