I believe what he is suggesting is that you have one workstation that
uses the 4D license. All requests for printing that require the 4D
write are handled by that workstation. Essentially any computer
needing printing will create a record in the data base with the
necessary information. The workstation that is using 4D write will
continually poll for a record that tells it to create the document.
When if finds a record it uses the information in the record to
perform the task using 4D write.
This take planning, and extra code, but once done works very well. We
use this concept for many tasks.
