If all you are after is printer access, Apple made a control panel that

You can get it on Apple's web site, I think it was called LaserWriter
Bridge (its been a while since I've used it, so I might be wrong on the
name, but it was something like that).
If you want to bridge non printers, such as older Macs for file sharing,
then that program won't work. There were others however that I believe
do, I just don't recall which ones.

I'm sure that Apple's LocalTalk Bridge Control Panel will work with
both LT printers and LT networked computers.
One connects an LT newtork to a serial port, and connects the EN port
to an EN network.
The bridge joins the two networks together regardless if the network
comprises computers, or printers, or both.
The software is available for download here.

It has the disadvantage that the computer providing the bridge must
be turned on.
It has the advantage of being free.
