You have printer drivers installed in the linux box.
You need to configure win98 to use a network print share--it doesn't in that case use the drivers, it assumes (rightly so) that the host of the share is providing a print spooler and drivers to run the printer. (There will still be a spooler on the windows box to hold temporary copies of the documents to feed to the print-share--the assumption in that case is that the network printer-share may be busy, and you really don't want to wait around for it to accept the print-job.)
You also need to set up linux to provide the service necessary to share its printer. SMB is part of that, but the other part has to be set up.
Hope that give you a direction to look for.
Also, I am confused by your path to /tmp. (It may be correct, but double check your docs to be sure.) Print spoolers are in /var/spool.
I'm not looking everything up--I have to go.
