Generally, if both computers can see each other, and the other computer can see the intended printer, you should be able to go properties, and then to sharing, enable sharing, then give the printer a name (this is on the computer with the printer attached). Then on the remote computer, choose that printer to print to. I would probably prefer the printer be conected to the XP based system and not the W98 based system. I have also seen some printers that require that their drivers be installed on both systems and the printer softaware will set up the printer sharing automatically. I also have fewer problems with NT, 2000, and XP based systems than I do with mixed W9x based networks.
