I am trying to access a shared printer on an XP Pro machine from my 98 machine.
Sharing is enabled, but when I try and set the printer up, I get and error:"
\\NAME is not accessible. The logon server cannot be found."

Any suggestions?

Is your network configured correctly? Can you access shared files and
folders on the XP machine from the Windows 98 one?

See http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp/addxp.htm and the
other pages linked from it for advice.

Good luck
