printer sharing with win98

This sounds trival but I encounter problem accessing the printer SHARED OUT by w2k prof.

Please advice

 

Details of the problem would be helpful.

 

Sorry.
I have a w2k profess with a HP Laserjet 4 attached to it. I decided to use this PC as a print server for our peer-to-peer network with other win98 PCs . Files and printer sharing among win98 is a-okay. When I share out Laserjet 4 to win98 PCs, the others could not view the printer icon when they tried to install the printer. Viewing through Network Neighbourhood proves to be futile too.
However , the users can see the netbios name of my w2k profess pc.
Please advice.

 

Share Permissions?

Did you check the share permissions?

I just went through this.

One way. You have to set up a 'user' on the Win 2K machine with the name and password of every user that will access the Win 2k machine to print.

Set the share permission of every user.

Make sure the printer is shared (right click on it, then go to 'sharing').

Should work.

Setting up an 'everyone' share should work, too. But, I did it the user way.

I followed advice from another site and went to www.helwig.com and read through several points of this process, with screen shots. My Administrative Tools are laid out differently that he shows, but I figured it out (nothing near as hard as SCSI termination on an Appe IIgs... or transfering a Apple II Pascal program off floppies on to a hard drive LOL!).
