Win 98 cannot see printer on W2K Professional

Two computers in small home network, Win98SE and Win2K Pro.

Printer is connected to Win2K Pro LPT1. File and printer
sharing is set up on both machines. Both machines can see
each others' shared folders, and I can cut and paste
across the network.

Problem: The printer on the Win2K machine is
not "visible" on the Win98SE machine.

Is it likely the problem lies in the Win2K configuration,
or is it more likely that the problem is on the Win98SE
machine?

Any suggestions of where to look, or KB articles will be
much appreciated.

If you reply directly, just remove the words "nospam" in
my email address and change the "dot" to . .

Thanks.

Make sure that the Win2k printer's share name isn't longer than 12
characters. If it is Win98SE can't see it.
