Plan 9 uses neither CUPS nor CIFS (the protocol used by Samba).

1) Find your printer in Parallels. You might need it connected to USB.
2) Read http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/Printer_configuration/
index.html
3) Once you have your device ID, set it to LPDEST by adding the line
	LPDEST = <device ID here>
    to the TOP of /usr/$user/lib/profile.
4) Test it out:
	lp /sys/doc/title.ps
