As near as I can tell, that's impossible. NT (including XP) can host a print share, and Win9x can print to it, but the reverse never works. The NT/XP system can connect to a fileshare on the Win9x system, proving that the network stuff is setup correctly, but connecting to a Win9x print share always fails.
