Problem installing network printer.

I have got a network printer which has got an static IP address. Is there a way to install this printer using just its IP? It works fine with other OS(win2000 and XP). I even tried to share this printer on one of the station where this printer is set up and still the printer cant be veiwed from WIN98. It asks for IPC$ password where i have been trying to insert the administrator password and it comes up with password invalid. Can anyone help me installing this network printer into my win98 station?

Windows 98 does not have a native IP printer driver. If your printer or
network device is from HP, the HP web site has a download that will allow
this:

If not, check your printer/network device manufacturer's site or search
google.com or download.com for one.
