I don't think you can share a printer from OS 9 to OS X, but if you're 
running classic, you can somewhat share a printer from OS X to OS 9.  
All you have to do is turn on Printer Sharing in the classic USB 
Printer Sharing control panel, though Apple warns that having printer 
sharing turned on in both OS X and OS 9 at the same time could cause 
unexpected behavior.  For more information, see what Apple has to say 
at <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107060>.
