simply share the printer you have on your Windows 2000 machine. You'll need
to keep this machine on, but at least all users on the network will be able
to see and print to the printer. Unfortuantly, Windows 98 (by default,
there are 3rd party products available) doesn't have any services that allow
you to view macintosh printers or file shares.
