I think you are 99% there -- your description indicates your printer is localtalk, not serial (it has a name in the chooser, not printer or modem port). Solutions mentioned by others apply mainly to serial printers. Open the LocalTalk Bridge control panel. There is an option to make the bridge public or private (local or global?). Private means only your 7600 can see localtalk resources such as the printer, while public will expose your entire ethernet to the printer. It wouldn't hurt to restart after changing the setting. Then on the MT, open the chooser, click on the 4100 driver, and the named 4100 printer should show up. A simpler way to do it is to connect all three devices with a daisy chain of localtalk connectors (no ethernet, no bridge). This would allow your MT to print with the 7600 off, but would slow other communication between the two macs (such as file sharing) to localtalk speed.
