network printer issues

I have recently networked my WinME desktop and Win98 laptop. Sharing files
is fine, but even though I have opted to share the printer, I cannot, with
few exceptions, get the printer to work with the laptop. I contacted
Lexmark concerning this issue (the printer is a Z35) and followed their
instructions consisting of installing the latest driver and changing
the print processor spool data format to WinPrint/RAW. Sometimes I can get
the printer to work when I close the document that was open on the laptop,
and sometimes not. I always get a prompt stating that the laptop cannot
connect w/the printer. While not a life and death issue, I am curious as to
why I cannot get the printer to work nominally with my networked laptop. No
help in the Help file or manual. Any input much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Ron
