WAN>Printer sharing... 1

[outhere]

HI,
Let me describe my setup.
WAN> 4 PC's. One running windows 2000 Server and the others running win98. All Share a DSL connection via a LinkSys Router using DHCP on all Pc's. Microsoft's File and Printer sharing installed on all machines. What Id like to do is have everyone sharing the same printer (An HP G85 OfficeJet).
Within the windows 2000 Server Pc's network, No other pc's are visible>C drive shared on all>.
From the win98 PC's the other are visible.
Not to cut to the chase - without installing a print server - how can I get all the Pc's to use the same printer?
Ive been fooling around with this for a few days, no luck...Any suggestions would really be appreciated! If you need more info..please let me know!

Thanks

Since you have a LAN, are you trying to share this device on one machine, or would you prefer using a JetDirect product and send it as a network device? Printer can be used in a central location without PCs being online IF you use JetDirect.
