Default setup on win98 for a shared printer connected to win2000 pro

Dear windows community:

I have a win98 computer connected to a workgroup. In that workgroup, there
is a win2000 professional computer with a local printer shared without any
problems with other win2000 computers. I'd like to be able to print from the
win98 computer too.

From the win98 computer, I went to add printers, browsed in network
neighborhood to the computer where the printer is connected to, but the
printer isn’t listed. The printer's shared name is Lexmark0.

Do I need to install a driver so that the printer can be shared with win98?
When I tried to do it, I was asked for the Windows2000 Server CD, which I
don't have. It doesn't seem reasonable that windows2000 professional should
be asking for that.

I also don't think the problem is having too many computers connected to the
printer server. At any point, I can type nbtstat and there are less than the
maximum number (10) computers connected to it.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Wallace
