Jimmy,
Absent any further options, you might try to get file sharing working first.
Try and separate the overall sharing issue (Vista to 98) from the printer driver
issue. With a complex situation like yours (Vista on the server, 98 on the
client) you have to have a printer that's supported under both Windows 98 and
Vista. And you can work on that only with sharing working.

And I don't see you specifically say that you corrected the LM Authentication
issue.

And it's possible that the problems don't solely involve Vista and its
differences.
