Enable the Guest Account on the XP PC... and remember to enable the
properties of the printer on the XP PC to set sharing. Keep the name of the
printer below 8 characters/numbers.

If you don't want to enable the Guest Account on the XP PC, add the UserName
and Password of the 98 PC to be an extra UserAccount on the XP PC.
