Hi,
I?ll give you two solutions: the first is applicable if the printer is
physically connected to the computer running Windows 98 SE. The second
solution is applicable if the printer is physically connected to the
computer running Windows XP.
Solution 1: the printer is connected to the Windows 98 SE PC.

this, you have to do the following:

Sharing in the Networks settings in Control Panel
c) In the Sharing tab of the Printer properties make sure the 'Share
As' button is selected and assign a name (essential), e.g. EPSON, a
comment (optional) and password (optional).
d) Click OK.
On the Windows XP machine:
a) Click on Start, Control Panel.
b) Double click on ?Printer and faxmachines?

printer you are trying to print to.
If you do not know the name of the printer, click Browse and select
the printer you want to print to.
h) Click Next.
