Default sharing a new printer

I've just installed a LaserJet printer on to one of my
Windows 98 PCs. The PC is currently functioning on the
network. I would like to share the new printer on the
network. Until now, this machine has not been used to
share resources. The computer name of this PC is "AARONB"


1. What do I have to do to allow other people to
access the new printer? Can you please detail the steps
required. This computer has never been used to share
resources before.

2. What would the UNC address of this printer be when
accessing it from adifferent PC on the network?

3. I would also like to share the c:\LaserJetUtils
folder on the hard drive. Can you please detail the steps
required to share this folder as LaserJetUtils with Read
Permissions.

4. Finally, what would I have to do to map a network
drive from a different machine to the share I've just
created?
