Okay, your first task is to run 'yum update' immediately. CentOS 4.2
is nearly 3 years out of date, and with proper updates would be at 4.6
right now.

I have a WinXP guest under VMWare on my CentOS 5.1 host and it can
access the CentOS printer(s) just fine.
However, I also have a Win98 box on the LAN that I would like to be
able to print on the CentOS printer. When I try to connect to the
printer, Win98 tells me that it can't find the network..

Step 1, undo what has been done and never use a force or nodeps!
Step 2, upgrade up2date to centos 3 (more on this when I find our notes)
Step 3, update all packages which are not customized.
Step 4, baby steps on customized configs/packages. ( you will need a lot of
compat rpms to work with.)
