want to share it with my

Share the printer on Windows 98. In Windows XP, connect to the Windows 98
machine and map the printer. The drivers will auto install.
 
Control pannel - printers - select printer - right clic - share and then
define a sharing name
That's all !

It may be a little easier if you can plug the printer directly into the
Xp computer temporarily. Windows seems to have an easier time if it can
poll the hardware.. then that printer type will be on your short list
when you add it as a shared printer on the other computer.
