Printing between a networked XP and 98 computer

[Nathan Mooney]

I have a WinXP desktop and a Win98 laptop networked
together through a hub. I have a Samsung ML-1450 Laser
Printer (USB) hooked up to the WinXP and a HP Deskjet 820
Cse (Parallel) hooked up to the Win98. I have no problem
exchanging files through either computer. However when I
go to print I can use both printers on the XP computer
however I cannot use the laserjet that is hooked up to
the XP on the 98 laptop. When I am on the 98 computer I
cannot see any of the shared printers that are set up on
the XP. How do I get the 98 computer to see and use the
the laserjet printer?

On the XP machine- navigate to Start Printers and Faxes right mouse
click on the printer in the list. Select Sharing. Click on Share this
printer and fill a convenient name in the slot.

On the Win 98 machine, add a network printer. Browse to the printer. Follow
the on-screen prompts.

Check additional information in the help system on the Win98 machine for
more details.
