98 Machine on Domain Can't print to XP NOT on domain?

Help!

I have a windows 98 machine that connects to a Windows 2000 domain. I
am trying to print to a windows XP shared printer. The XP machine is
NOT on the domain.
The user of the Windows 98 has a user account set up on the XP machine
and I can see the XP machine in the network neighborhood. However when
I try to connect to this printer it asks me for a password. Does
anyone have ANY idea what is going on. Does the XP machine need to be
on the domain too??

One other thing, the 98 machine used to be able to print to this
printer before the 98 machine was put on the domain.

MANY MANY THANKS!

The user needs to be logged on to the 98 with the user account exists on the
XP PC.

Thanks for the response.

I have already created an account with the same username and password
on the XP machine that the user uses to connect to the domain in the
98 machine.

Could there be a problem due to the fact that the 98 machine is on a
domain and the XP isnt?

Thanks again.

It wouldn't be a domain/workgroup issue. The XP PC should recognize that
user account. If the XP PC is Pro, You might try using folder options on
the XP box an disable simple file sharing.
