Win 98 to Vista printer sharing
I have a printer attached to my Vista machine via a parallel port. I have a
network and my win 98 machine can see my vista machine. I have printer sharing turned on and no password turned on. When I try to add printer on my 98 machine and browse the network to find the printer, the vista machine asks for a password. Both machines access the internet fine. How do I set up access from from the 98 machine to the vista machine?

Win 98 to Vista printer sharing
If you ever get this to work, I would be very interested in hearing about
it. I was successful in getting past the password problem you have, essentially by following Robert L.'s advice, but ultimately found that every W98 print request would hang up the Vista machine with the printer.
