Printer Sharing between XP Pro and Win98

[Guest]

I've one Win98 with a Epson Dotmatrix Printer, installed on LPT1 port. I want
to access this printer (installed on Win98) from Win XP Pro under DOS.

Whenever I try to access the printer using

NET USE LPT1 \\computername\printername /y

It ask me for the username and password, but none of the username and
password works.

Both of these Win98 and WinXP Pro are part of the domain.

WhenI'm logged on in XP with 'administrator' account, win XP can easily
access the printer and never ask for the password. But when I'm logged on XP
with a user account it always ask me the username and password.

anyone have any idea about it?

You need the username/password of a user on the Windows 98 machine.

I tried already and it didn't work. When I added the user in as the local
machine administrator then it did work without asking any username and
password. On the other side if the user is member of local machine
administrator then he can paly with the machine (add/remove software etc)
which I don't want.
