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

Hi,
I've got a question that you might be able to answer - I've just
installed Plan9 on Parallels and I've got the networking set up
OK. Now I want to set up a printer - I've got a HP deskjet printer
attached to an OSX server (so I could connect to it via CUPS or
SAMBA) - is there anyway to get Plan9 to print to it
Thanks
Keith
