Default shared printer on 98 and XP problems

Hi,
I have just bought a new HP Deskjet 2300 series USB printer. I have
installed it onto a windows XP machine and shared it for all users. I now
have 2 98 machines and I am having some trouble connecting to the printer. I
can see it over the network but can't seem to get it to work. I run through
the wizard but can't find the correct drivers to load the printer. I get to
the stage with the list of printer and click on HP (left hand side) and then
my printer isn't in the Right hand side list so I click 'have disk' but then
can't find any file that works (can't find the software that is associated
with your hardware). I have also tried installing the printer onto the 98
first, then transferring it back to the XP then trying to connect to the
shared printer but still can not get a connection.

I am stuck. Please help.
Cheers
Lenny
