What happens if you type in at the "run" bar \\<ip address>? The system
should then ask you for a driver selection for that printer.

If Xerox has no such utility, you'll need to search google.com or
download.com for a TCP/IP printing utility. Windows 98 does not support
printing directly to a TCP printer.

Don't try to have 98 print directly to the printer.

Let the windows server 2003 act as print server.
The server supports printing to a standard TCP/IP port.

Then share the printer from the server.

If you want to be a bit flash, install 98 drivers
on the server as 'additional drivers'.

Then point the 98 workstation to the server share.

Didn't want to tie up any server resources, but this is
the conclusion i came to..thanks
