but the winme cannot print to the win2000 machine printer.
neither can win2000 print to a win2000 machine printer.

When you share a printer on Windows NT server you can select other OS which can use the shared printer. I think you should do the same in this case. When you share the printer on Windows 2000, you will also need to install the drivers for Winme. Next, install a network printer on Winme. This should use the drivers from the shared printer, so once properly installed you do not need the drivers anymore.

I am working with CANNON S6oo injet printer on the win2000 machine, when I add the printer with the add printer button it spool on the winme machine but do not print

Instead of using the add printer interface and installing drivers on each machine, open the printers window, then navigate through the network to the printer you want and drag it into the printer window. It will use the drivers from the machine to which it's attached, and the OS should not matter.
