Without knowing what type of printer you are using, you may have to locate,
download, and install the appropriate Vista compatible printer driver--the
98/xp driver located on the 9x machine will probably not install--, then
change the *port* to point to your networked printer host machine such as:
\\win98computername\sharedprintername

This is assuming that all necessary sharing, etc is established on your
network.
