Default Printer sharing

How can i get my old iMac to be able to use the printer attached to my windows XP machine? The iMac is like 1st or 2nd generation running OS 9.1. I also want to set up filesharing between it and my other PC's. They are all wired to the same hub.
Any help is appreciated.

well, i dont use MAC, but if you get a printer with a serial port, you could connect it to the main computer, and have a serial cable going to the mac, thats what they do at school

Well, the imac doesn't have serial ports, I don't have serial cables, and I want to share it to my mac, because it is too far away for a direct cable.
