You would need to link the LW 360 to the 7300 serial port (probably as a localtalk connection), but last time I checked it was possible to start Classic, open the Chooser, and print to a vintage printer from a Classic application.
Of course, this won't help you print direct from OS X. But using OS X you could print to a PDF file; then drag'n'drop that to a copy of Acrobat running in Classic, and print from there.
Obviously this is very kludgy, but might get you by for a bit.
A better solution would be to find a used hardware print-server (like an HP Jet-Direct?) and attach one or more of your printers through that. Failing that get a vintage Mac and turn it into a print-server. Hardware requirement is minimal (68020 + ethernet). Connect via Ethernet to the 7300. Connect via serial/LocalTalk to the printer. Use Apple's LocalTalk Bridge or LaserWriter Bridge software to route the print jobs from Ethernet to laser. Add Print66 software if you want the print-server to talk lpr as well.
Hope this gives you some ideas.

Does anyone know a method for printing to my Apple LaserWriter Select 360
from the upgraded 7300 running OS-10.2? I also have an HP LaserJet 6MP, the
same problem seems to exist. Note: Neither printer has an Ethernet card
installed. I don't think the Apple printer accepts one, but the HP may-
haven't been able to locate this info on HP's web site.
I'll be grateful for any advice on this-
