Would it be practical to power the pinter simultaneously from

Yes, but I don't know if it last that long, aka , do the number of prints
you want.

Upwards of 100 prints may be made in a single 5-6 hour day, over
varying intervals. (Am trying to avoid carrying a deep cycle battery
and dedicated inverter.)

I would seriously suggest getting a second battery installed. Make it a
deep discharge lead acid and run the laptop and printer off the second
battery. it would be a lot less fiddly then what you are going toend up
doing with the jump starter. Also, AFAIK, you would get better life and
value out of a decent capacity deep discharge lead acid battery than you
will out of the SLA in the jump starter.
