i have 4 computers in my house. i have 3 boxes with winxp home. and one with win98.. i want to set up the win98 box to be a permanent print server. but i cant figure out how to set this up

it would be easy if the win98 machine had winxp, but it cant run it... i have looked into linux options with no luck.

so here is my network specs
- i have a d-link router. it has 4 ports for lan and it also is wireless 802.11b
-- all of the computers use wireless except the win98 box.
- i have a lexmark x1150 printer, so its one of those 3 in 1 things... that may be the problem

thanks

When you set the printer up as a shared printer on the 98 machine the XPs can't see it?
