I have a printer that I am attempting to share on a Windows XP machine. Everyone can access the printer fine except for one computer that is running Windows 98. We plan on replacing the 98 PC but until we do I need to figure out how to get this PC to see the printer installed on the XP box. When I attempt to browse to the shared printer, I get the error "The login server cannot be found
 
The computer name and the printer name cannot contain spaces or special characters and has to be under 8 characters in length.

Sorry I can't think of anything else.
