Default Can't see shared printer on network

Hello all.

On a 98SE machine I am trying to access a network printer that is hooked up
to an XP machine. File and printer sharing is enabled, of course. Both PCs
are on the MSHOME network. I can see both machines from the other one, and
can access shared folders both ways.

I have installed the (additional) 98SE drivers on the host PC. No firewalls
are running. Yet when I go to the printer installation screen the printer
never shows up (although the PC name is visible).

It's been a while since I last used 98SE. Can someone point me in the right
direction, please?

Thanks,

Erik
