Seeing shared printers on an XP machine

I posted this on the XP forum, but no one seems to know.
On our lan we have one xp laptop, one 98 pc, and three 2000 Pro pcs. I have the printer connected to the xp machine shared. I was able to set up the 2000 pcs to print to it easily. When I browse the network from the 98 pc, the xp machine shows up, but no printer does. I have the guest acct. enabled on the xp. I also enabled the option for logins with no user to use the guest acct. Still no printer shows up.
I'm not very familiar with xp. Am I missing something easy?

Thanks for any help.
 
Look to see if everyone has rights to the printer in XP
 
I have the printer set to let everyone print to it, and I believe it is a usb.
