XP/Win 98 network printer problem

I recently set up a home wireless network between 2
laptops. One is running Home XP, the other 98 SE. On the
XP laptop I can see its printers and the 98SE printers
(and shrared folders) on the network tree, but on the 98SE
laptop I can only see it's printers and the XP's shared
folders, but no XP printers. I have checked all settings
on both laptops, and everything is set up as shared. Any
ideas?

Check the share names of the XP printers. If they're longer than 12
characters, 98SE can't see them.
