Good
that's good there is no need for any kind of bridge i would share the printer from the 7 machine XP Home is not to great for networking in the first place the Pro version was much better

Ok
ok just trying to make sure to follow info correctly
if you are just going to put 7 on the other machine i would just do it now that way it will make the networking much easier plus you will only have to do it once the BitDefender and Norton are not so great that i would let that stop me from installing the best OS to come down the pike

Now that you have deleted the bridging connection, can W7 ping XP (doesn't matter if it's a LAN pining a wireless), if both machines are on the same vlan (should be if you config them correctly) then they should be able to be pinged.

Yeah, I know the never the less the Xp machine has Norton on it, and the user refuses to not to use it up and well I just figure to wait it out, till I can upgrade the motherboard, and memory if I am going to upgrade the OS, because I am not happy with how much memory Norton uses.
