Has anyone tried using Mac OS X printer sharing with classic Macs?

I created a new LaserWriter 8 printer with LPR and my MacBook's IP address and the printer's queue name, but when I pressed 'verify' I get the message "The printer cannot be verified." When I try to print it tells me that the printer cannot be found. The computer is running Mac OS 9.1 and LaserWriter 8 8.7 with a generic PPD.
