On the 98 PC, go into Network Neighbourhood, and go to entire network, or whatever the option is, and find the XP PC. Double click it and you should see the printer. Double click that and it'll install, IIRC.

Have you enable sharing of the printer? To do this go into control panel, printers, right click the printer you want to share and select properties, click the sharing tab and click a button to enable it. Then OK it.

That was under XP, might be a bit different on other versions of Windows. Try that.
