Have you considered running a pizza box or compact Mac as a server for your 300? Then you can do printer sharing to the ethernet if the computer has that or AppleTalk if it doesn't.
You could also link the old Mac to ethernet with an EtherPrint by Dayna or Asante. They come up often on eBay. Stick with the plastic cases tho on the Daynas. The metal ones are older and may not support PostScript II as well. I used to run an SE30 as a server with a 300. One of the little Performas would be ideal because it doesn't need a monitor, making it cheaper to run.
