+8On the latest 10 update webroot is clobbering some printing operations and making it a very slow process!
I reported this two days ago and have heard nothing!
This needs sorting asap!

+62Also I just thought of this..
You may want to look at these Settings in Webroot GUI.
And check Webroot Active Connections. Look for the Brother Communicator or/and depending on what options you have installed, such as ePrint, possibly anything associated with the Brother Printer and ensure they are set to Allow.
Also while trying to print, check the Active processes found under Utilities -> Advanced-> System Control -> Control Active Processes (Tab), and click the Start button at the bottom. Again, look for the Brother Communicator (or something to that effect ), & RunDll32.exe, and Spoolsv.exe. They need to be set to Allow.
