When I try to print from the Web my desktop reboots

I recently set up a laptop with Windows XP over a wireless network to share a printer attached to my desktop running Windows 2000. The desktop is my connection to NTL broadband via a router. When I print from my laptop in MS Word everything is ok, but if I try to print from the Web my desktop reboots and nothing prints. Any ideas what would make my desktop reboot?
