Word blocking access to network printer

J

I have a persistent problem on my home wireless network that is getting
annoying and I am wondering if there is a solution.

I have a home wireless network of 3 PCs all running XP. One of the PCs
has the printer attached to it by a direct cable (not wireless).
Whenever Word 2002 is open on that PC, no other PC on the network can
print to that printer. Once that Word is shut down, the other PCs can
use that printer to print.

Is there a way to have Word open on that PC and still let other network
users print to the printer?
