Win98 Printer Sharing is not working

I have a Win98 PC that will not share with the WinXP Laptops that are
wirelessly connected to them. It used to share the printer but I have no
idea why it doesn't now. Both of the laptops can see the Win98 machine but
the printer is not available. Both laptops can see each other. I get some
kind of access error when I try to connect the printer. I have
uninstalled/reinstalled all of the network protocols and the printer on the
Win98 machine. NetBios is enabled on all machines. This has been driving
me crazy for a week!!!! Any help would be appreciated.

How are you trying to connect the printer on the laptops? What type
of access error do you get? What is the complete and exact text of
the error message?

Does your network use more than one protocol? That's likely to cause
problems, especially when XP is involved. Unless you have a specific
need for another protocol, un-install everything but TCP/IP on all of
the computers.
