I've had this same problem, but it wasn't resolved even
after I added the new drivers. The problem seems to be
with printers on an XP machine not being visible to other
computers on the network running Windows 98. I've posted
a couple of messages, but all I've found is others who
experience the same problem.

The printers on XP need to be shared before other PCs can see them....
