Network Printing

[Lem]

I have a WinXPpro box networked with a Win95 box and a Win98se box using
a Linksys router. I have an ancient HP IIIp LaserJet printer attached
to the XP box via LPT1 and shared with the other two. Up til now, it's
been working fine. I had some mechanical probs with the printer, and
disconnected it (didn't uninstall) and installed a new printer
temporarily. I reconnected the IIIp, and after some resetting of
defaults, got it to print directly from XP again. If I try to "print a
test page" from the printer properties sheet over the network from
Win95, I get the following error: "There was an error writing to
\\XPBox\Printer for printer (Network HP LaserJet IIIP). The access code
is invalid." If I try to do it from Win98, the jobs just sit in the
queue. The same happens if I try to print from Notepad or other app.

What is going on?

I've never set security restrictions on the printer, but when I went to
check if they somehow had been activated, there is no "security" tab on
the printer properties dialog. How do I get that back?

I seem to have solved the problem by removing and reinstalling the
printer on the XP box. I'd still like to know how to get back the
"security" tab on the printer properties sheet, though.
