Default Shared printing from Win 98 to Win XP machine

I am trying to setup a print connection from a Win 98
machine to a Win XP Pro machine. I am unable to access
the printer. The printer is shared on the XP machine and
the share name is less than 12 characters. Any ideas?

Have you enabled file and printer sharing on the 98 system?

Can you see the XP machine from the 98 machine?
